Reflections of a working writer and reader
The novelist's sensibility may be greater than his intelligence, but even this is limited - the highest sensibility is more likely to appreciate than to create. Some very primitive factors are involved in creation - in particular, cruelty. Drama is more akin to mimicry, the novel to gossip and even scandal-mongering, than either of them are to Science or Philosophy - and the primitive factors in Literature cannot be neglected or despised, they are the forces that make it live. Robert Liddell
This from Martin Edward’s blog:
At home, I keep a pile of scripts based on my books. Film scripts, tv scripts, a radio adaptation. All written by seasoned professionals – and they all have one thing in common.
None of them have ever been made.
Martin Edwards is a crime writer, author of the Liverpool-based Harry Devlin novels.
