Well, I'm interested in writing about sex because sex... sex looms so large in people's lives.  And at... at a certain point in their lives, not all the time.  But during... during one lifetime there are intense sexual experiences, more or less. And that's why I guess it showed up in... in Sabbath's Theater and in... to a minor degree really... in American Pastoral. In American Pastoral I... I have a few pages in which I talk about the... the sex life of the main character, Swede Levov, and his wife, Dawn. I didn't have that in the book when I finished the... the first or second or third draft of it. I remember I gave the... that final draft to my friend, Judith Thurman, to... to read. And after she read it, she said, 'What is sex like between them?'  I said, 'I didn't think it was necessary'.  She said, 'It is'.  She was right. So after speaking to her, I went home and asked what is sex like between them and then I thought, well, look, the cliché would be that because he's so proper a person, that it would be quiet and over the period... over a long period of time, inconsequential. So I said, then do the opposite, do the opposite. Make these... make this couple an unlikely passionate married couple. So I wrote those few pages, I think they're okay.
