“To manage to write and to write well, that’s #grace. And I think perhaps life in itself might be a kind of grace. I can completely understand people who decide to leave this life. It’s an awful place in many ways. You can also think of death as a grace. To be here all the time, it must be awful.” —#JonFosse in #TheNewYorker speaking with #MerveEmre https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-new-yorker-interview/jon-fosses-search-for-peace #writing #writers #playwright
