"I think about the reader. I care about the reader. Not ‘audience.’ Not ‘readership.’ Just the reader. That one person, alone in a room, whose time I’m asking for. I want my books to be worth the reader’s time, and that’s why I don’t publish the books I’ve written that don’t meet this criterion, and why I don’t publish the books I do until they’re ready. The novels I love are novels I live for. They make me feel smarter, more alive, more tender toward the world. I hope, with my own books, to transmit that same experience, to pass it on as best I can."

— Jeffrey Eugenides, The Art of Fiction No. 215 (via theparisreview)
