M: Your readers are interested in your childhood. What was it like?

W: I grew up in a small town. We lived in a very poor housing but we always lived in very beautiful settings, so I had favorite trees and I had contact with birds. My parents were farm workers. Though we were poor for the most part, I think I was often happy.

M: It would not have been expected that you’ll become a literary figure. Was your mother ambitious with you?

W: Well, my mother wasn’t especially ambitious with me in the sense of going to college when I grew up. I think her greatest contributions was simply that she loved me very much. No matter what happened, I had my mother with me.

M: She gave you confidence.

W: Oh, she did. She earned very little money. And in spite of that, she managed to buy a typewriter for me. She just wanted me to be able to do things that she couldn’t do even if she didn’t know what they were.
