Zitat des Tages von Mordecai Richler:
I'm criticized by the feminists, by the Jewish establishment, by Canadian nationalists. And why not? I've had my pot shots at them. I'm fair game.
I obviously prefer writing novels but I take my journalism very seriously, and I enjoy doing it between novels. It gives me an opportunity to move in the outside world.
If you're writing a novel, you're in a room for three or four years. There's not much coming in from the outside.
In Canada, nobody is ever overthrown because nobody gives a damn.
The process hasn't changed, but the writer has developed. I still get up every morning and go to work.
Fundamentally, all writing is about the same thing; it's about dying, about the brief flicker of time we have here, and the frustration that it creates.
Everybody writes a book too many.
Coming from Canada, being a writer and Jewish as well, I have impeccable paranoia credentials.
Some of the attitudes of Barney are certainly attitudes I share, but not all.
