“It is inconceivable to me that a million or three million or half a million huma…” — Chaim Potok

I'm constantly revising. Once the book is written and typed, I go through the entire draft again.

Well, in The Chosen, Danny Saunders, from the heart of his religious reading of the world, encounters an element in the very heart of the secular readings of the world - Freudian psychoanalytic theory.

But today we become aware of other readings of the human experience very quickly because of the media and the speed with which people travel the planet.

I think most serious writers, certainly in the modern period, use their own lives or the lives of people close to them or lives they have heard about as the raw material for their creativity.
