"Novels shouldnâ€™t aspire to answer questions, and I wouldnâ€™t presume to offer advice about love or marriage in any case. Whatâ€™s fascinating to me about marriage as a subject for fictionâ€”a subject that fiction has taken on with gusto since the 19th centuryâ€”is how unknowable other peopleâ€™s relationships are. Even the marriages of your parents, your siblings, your closest friends always remain something of a mystery. Only in fiction can you pretend to know people completely."
