When I write, I don’t like to be edited. I speak in an idiosyncratic way. The publishers of my books, they told me people didn’t understand how I wrote, so I just kept waiting until I found a publisher that didn’t want to edit it. All editors seem to edit the same way for papers in America—it’s boring to read. Editors for my books just cancelled each other out. They go in and they kill your text. They over-edit me in America. If I write in the U.K., they don’t edit me at all. In America, they reduce dimensiality; they are all programmed to write the same. They want the illusion of control, just as they do on Wall Street. They need to look like they’re doing something.
