  The moment a man sets his thoughts down on paper, however secretly, he is in a sense writing for publication.

  There’s this weird but pervasive feeling in the world of contemporary coming-of-age fiction that characters ought to be the person you want to be, or the person you want to be with. And I am happy to acknowledge that Holden Caulfield is not the guy you want to be OR the guy you want to be with-he’s not Edward Cullen- but he IS the guy you secretly know yourself to be.

  I had a strong sense as a kid, who was constantly belittled by vile PE teachers, that I would prove people wrong who said I spent all my time daydreaming. When I’d walk around the perimeter of the football pitch in the p—-ing rain and feel the terrible smack of the football against my cheek, I had an inner conviction that I could somehow make use of my geekiness. And I’m very pleased to say I have.
