Who know what life is going to be like. I mean, there was no demand for the spaces before. It's not like people were flocking to Sochi before; they just didn't have enough hotel rooms and arenas to fill the need. So that's what we'll look at when we go there. But we'll wait a few years until things kind of return to normal.

We often compare the experience of writing a book to that of playing God. It is up to us, and only us, to determine what happens to the people we invent.
