Fall Character Thinking

More From Rick Moody

The leaves are falling, falling as from way off, as though far gardens withered in the skies; they are falling with denying gestures. and in the nights the heavy earth is falling from all the stars down into loneliness. we all are falling. this hand falls. and look at others: it is in them all. and yet there is one who holds this falling endlessly gently in his hands.
Stars Loneliness Fall
Nobody's really unsympathetic, i think. people do good and bad things. if a character's totally unsympathetic, they're not real and i'm not interested. even the real monsters have to have a spark of something you can relate to.

Like the vast majority of americans, i've opposed same-sex marriage, but i've also opposed unjust discrimination against anyone, for racial or religious reasons, or for sexual preference. americans are a tolerant, generous, and kind people. we all oppose bigotry and disparagement. but the debate over same-sex marriage is not a debate over tolerance. it is a debate about the purpose of the institution of marriage and it is a debate about activist judges who make up the law rather than interpret the law.

...he makes me feel out of control and out of my head. he is exhilarating and terrifying. i see and feel him everywhere, and i'm always grasping for equilibrium even when he's not there... i feel like i'm always falling in love, falling and falling and falling.
Falling In Love Grasping Equilibrium
I try to write about real women, real people - in other words flawed characters. i find flawed characters much more interesting than perfect ones and enjoy the challenge of making readers root for them in spite of their unsympathetic path and destructive choices. life is about the gray areas. things are seldom black and white, even when we wish they were and think they should be, and i like exploring this nuanced terrain.

Though anne was born in alabama and schooled in mississippi, she had traveled north, and, like many southerners, gained a theoretical understanding of the concept of cold. but the mind is an overprotective parent. what it doesn't care for, it hides. like many inhabiting the subtropics, anne had repressed the reality of subzero mercury.

Killing of animals for food is one thing, but on the other hand they do not exist simply as things to be slaughtered. this is true of fishing, too. many men fish and leave their victims to rot and stink. but what about the fish? has he no rights - not to be romanticized as though he were a man - but real rights?
