"
If an editor or person reads my sentence, which I wrote in clear prose, and says, “Yeah, I know what you’re saying,” then I know that he missed the point; and I take that sentence and make a whole paragraph out of it to make sure that he understands what is different about what I am saying. I write so that people have got to read and reread it so that maybe they have got the meaning.
Interviewer: Why? Why didn’t you think the first time worked?
Because they translated it into what they thought I was saying, not what I was saying.
