"What interests me when Iâ€™m writing is being able to crawl into a characterâ€™s head and speak from his or her mouth. Itâ€™s not pulling the strings on a marionette, itâ€™s not playing ventriloquist, and itâ€™s not mimicry. Itâ€™s about inhabiting a character, and, at the same time, being totally unaware of what youâ€™ve become."

-- Nathan Englander
