Anthony Holden Zitate

That was par for the course but I also found that commissions were being canceled and in fact I considered this directly libelous - I write biographies for a living as well as being a journalist - for a non fiction book to be called fiction from beginning to end.

Anthony Holden

Deutsche Übersetzung

Das war für den Kurs selbstverständlich, aber ich fand auch heraus, dass Kommissionen abgebrochen wurden, und tatsächlich hielt ich dies für direkt verleumderisch - ich schreibe Biografien für den Lebensunterhalt sowie Journalist - für ein Sachbuch, das von Anfang bis Ende als Fiktion bezeichnet wird .

I write synopses after the book is completed. I can't write it beforehand, because I don't know what the book's about. I invent something for my publisher because he asks for one, but the final book ends up very differently.

I've found that in fiction - and this is just the kind of writer I am - I can't really work from an outline. I have a vague idea of the characters at the beginning of the book, and then I have a vague idea of whatever the end of the book will be, but I can't approach creative nonfiction like that.

Englisches Zitat von David Cronenberg als Bild

I'm just observing the world. I was born into it, like you were, and then I found out there were some really disturbing aspects to being alive, like the fact that you weren't going to be alive forever - that bothered me.

The rumors of Frank Sinatra's violence and his ties to organized crime were such that journalists joked in print about me ending up in concrete boots and sleeping with the fishes if I proceeded to write his biography.

Englisches Zitat von Phil Klay als Bild

At least for me, writing a book is continual exposure to blind spots. There were things I wanted to be true and wanted to believe, but it always got more complicated in the fiction.

One of my biggest fears is not being able to break out of a rut; of becoming a prisoner to my ways, unable to change course. But in my mid-thirties, I learned you can change your thinking.

Englisches Zitat von Wangechi Mutu als Bild

I think there is something about countries and nations that is hard to define. And, in fact, that's probably why we create such massive boundaries - because it's so slippery where they begin and where they end.

Englisches Zitat von David Shields als Bild

Both of my parents were journalists, and my rebellion, such as it was, was to become a fiction writer.

David Shields

I don't think it's the writer's job to give answers or to give opinions. In fact, when a writer has answers, I think the work ends up being corrupted. It becomes didactic. What a book does is share a consciousness and invite people to explore the questions as best as you can.
