On writers who have influenced how I think about life: Dostoevsky, Kafka, Celine (really only Journey to the End of Night and Death on the Installment Plan), Hamsun (only Hunger), Kierkegaard, Emily Dickinson, Donald Barthelme, Borges, recently Bolano (three big Bs in a row), Nietzsche, Fitzgerald (especially Tender Is the Night), Camus, Doris Lessing.
