What we expect from novels
18 May 2016
“We do writers everywhere a favour by reading books at all, given the number of videos that require viewing. Then there is the effort/reward ratio. People can listen to a stack of CDs and watch a ton of television and even read a pile of magazines and other kinds of books, all in less time, and with far less strain, than is needed to get through a so-called serious novel. Anyone who does give the novel a go wants something in return. It’s only natural.”
