Quote
  • "I want to keep readers turning pages until two in the morning or better . So consider this: if I base a book on a slightly altered past the reader who knows what happened in that time and place does not know with any certainty what will happen in my story. In Under Heaven I've served notice with the shift to an imagined Kitai from real China that I reserve the right to change, or telescope events."
