I love teaching.
Harry Mathews
Well, my relationship to America at the time I left was very limited.
Harry Mathews
I think situations are more important than plot and character.
Harry Mathews
What I wanted to do and what I needed to do was something entirely different, and through reading Roussel I learned that I could do what I wanted all on my own and that I didn't have to rely on what had actually happened in my somewhat limited life and reading.
Harry Mathews
After the navy, I transferred to Harvard and finished there. I was there the spring term of 1951 and I stayed through the summer term and a whole other year, so I was able to do two years in a little less than a year and a half.
Harry Mathews

Harry Mathews
