Abgesehen von einigen wenigen Ausnahmen wird die literarische Fiktion im Vereinigten Königreich von einer Clique der oberen und oberen Mittelklasse dominiert, die normalerweise ein Zinnohr für den Demotiker hat und die Charaktere der Arbeiterklasse im besten Fall mit einer wohlwollenden Herablassung darstellt.

My great influence has been Maurice Sendak, who drew 'Where the Wild Things Are.' His characters really interact with each other.

Because of England's lack of social mobility, unless they make truly heroic efforts, writers who are privately educated and then go on to Oxbridge or an institution like the BBC will generally embarrass themselves when they attempt to have a go at working- or lower middle-class characters.
