I guess I wanted to leave America for awhile. It wasnt that I want

I guess I wanted to leave America for awhile. It wasnt that I wanted to become an expatriate, or just never come back, I needed some breathing room. Id already been translating French poetry, Id been to Paris once before and liked it very much, and so I just went. – Paul Auster
