Two Generations of Readers

Thomas Mann.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

Reading my Critics

'To most people, 1984 is just a novel; around here it's our instruction manual.'

Television Readers.

'Look! The new long awaited, highly anticipated but ultimately disappointing novel by that guy you like.'

Silence of the Chickens...

"I give up. Where's the power button?"

The First Draft. . . Moby Duck.

Characters jumping out of a book.

"I try to write a little bit every day."

'Is that where you keep the banned books?'

Sign in book shop window: 'Critics agree the book is much better than the movie.'

"Yep, I've read this chapter before."

Iris Murdoch

'Meet the author with her collaborators'

"If I Can Make One Critic Smile..."

What Harper Lee's REALLY been up to all these years

"Hmm...I can see a best-selling book and a movie deal out of this..."

'It was a real scroller. I couldn't put down my screen.'

Books: Soon to be made into a major computer App.

'Read any good Apps lately?'

'Sorry, Marx, but your writing ability doesn't meet our needs.'

"I got tired of 'Moby-Dick' taunting me from my bookshelf, so I put it on my Kindle and haven't thought of it since."

'He wrote a whole book on how to play a slot machine. I'm anxious for his next one: How to Set an Alarm Clock.'

My Literary Influences

"There are those who write books to be read and other who write novels for bookshelves."

"Regarding the plot of your novel ... what on earth were you thinking?"

"I'm not angry, but in the future I’d prefer it if you chewed up her Sue Graftons, not my P.G. Wodehouses."

"Those are the failed attempts at my first novel."

Tolstoy and Dostoevsky plan a collaboration - 'War and Punishment'... it'll make us a bundle.
