ms. boyl e. let me close with this. this is your assessment of your own work. you said that you think your work is maturing, that your writing is not as whimsical as it used to be. what do you mean by that? >> i am talking about in the preface. overlooking my whole career and so on. when i first started out first of all in the stories i wrote some of those as a student in my early 20's. was more interested in idea and design and telling jokes and having fun and absurdity but as i began to write novels, i began to discover the idea of writing about characters. you see a fuller, richer sort of story than in the early ones. not that i reject them. as we mentioned this am a just before, i just got back from a tour from germany and austria. i finished the next novels i can't see you next year. ahead ofu are schedule. he crank them out and he -- they seemed to be good. we will see him in a year. for now the one we are "t.c. boyleis new short," brand stories. until next year, my friend. good to see you. that is our show for tonight. thanks for watching and is always,
