""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 606 $aNovelists, English$y20th century$vInterviews 606 $aNovelists, English$y20th century$xAttitudes 615 0$aNovelists, English 615 0$aNovelists, English$xAttitudes. 676 $a823.91409 702 $aTew$b Philip 702 $aTolan$b Fiona 702 $aWilson$b Leigh 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786919303321 996 $aWriters talk$93725763 997 $aUNINA
