| Quotation | I have always had a prejudice against buying a book of short stories. I steered clear of Huxley's Those Barren Leaves for years because I thought it was a book of short stories. On the other hand I find peoples' notebooks and diaries intensely interesting, and I am perfectly happy writing in a notebook of my own. And I like reading novels and I was perfectly happy writing one this summer and this fall. |
