Anthony Marra Zitate

In den Jahren, in denen ich daran gearbeitet habe, war "Constellation" der einzige Roman, den ich schreiben konnte, also hielt ich mich vielleicht an die Maxime? Egal, ich bevorzuge die Maxime: Schreiben Sie, was Sie wissen möchten, und nicht das, was Sie bereits wissen.

I began writing 'Matterhorn' in 1975 and for more than 30 years I kept working on my novel in my spare time, unable to get an agent or publisher to even read the manuscript.

I know that in order to be considered successful, you're supposed to do two or three movies a year. I only work once every year-and-a-half, sometimes two years. I have children to raise.
