Reflections of a working writer and reader
His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred. Later he became conscious of his damaged wings and of their construction and he learned to think and could not fly any more because the love of flight was gone and he could only remember when it had been effortless. Ernest Hemingway on F Scott-Fitzgerald

Hi John,
Great to see a link to the debate on your blog. We’re running a feature to coincide with the David Cohen Prize for Fiction, that asks; How do we determine literary greatness? I thought this might be of interest to you and your blog followers! The feature will run on the homepage in a couple of weeks, for now it’s in the features section.
