Most people in America want an easy read. I call it McFiction – books which pass right through you without you even digesting them. I don’t mean a book that has two-syllable words. I mean chapters you can read in a toilet break. Happy endings. We are more of a TV culture.

I started doing some interviews with elderly people in the family because I knew they would pass away and we would lose the power of their story.
