““Plenty of people were writing novels; in fact, if one did a survey in the street, half of Edinburgh was writing a novel, and this meant that there really weren't enough characters to go round. Unless, of course, one wrote about people who were themselves writing novels. And what would the novels that these fictional characters were writing be about? Well, they would be novels about people writing novels.””
![“Maybe someone's who's a different kind of writer [would think otherwise] - someone who'd be just as comfortable writing essays on what their novels are about. Sometimes you feel like certain novelists are like that.” quote by Chang-Rae Lee](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/01b/chang-rae-lee-3318_books_maybe-someone-s-who-s-a-different-kind-o_2155139.jpg)
