""Is it a good time to be a writer in the time of The Da Vinci Code? It''s not necessarily good time to be a literary writer.""-Kate Atkinson ""The best novels allow us to rehearse the world ahead of us, to play out the battle before we fight it, to experience disaster before we encounter it, to practice grief before it flattens us. Narrative is useful. It confers advantages on us as a species."" -Jim Crace Why do writers Novelists, English20th centuryInterviewsNovelists, English20th centuryAttitudesNovelists, EnglishNovelists, EnglishAttitudes.823.91409Tew PhilipTolan FionaWilson LeighMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786919303321Writers talk3725763UNINA
