Every novelist has a different purpose - and often several purposes which might even be contradictory.
From Irwin Shaw
I am forced to say that I have many fiercer critics than myself.
It's those damn critics again.
All writers are the same - they forget a thousand good reviews and remember one bad one.
I reach my readers regardless of what the critics have written.
My views naturally have mellowed. Most of the critics have been more or less nice to me.
