Works
Quote
"I realise that it's fashionable now to dismiss the traditional novel as something of an anachronism, but to me it's still a vital form. Not only does it allow for the kind of full-blown, richly detailed writing that I love… but it permits me to operate on many levels and to explore both the inner state of my characters as well as the worlds beyond them."
