Hätten / Had Heer / Army Mann / Man Mischung / Mixture Mutter / Mother Schriftsteller / Writer Vater / Father Werdegang / Career
Many writers who have had to deal with the subject of atrocity can't face it head-on.
My father was always Labour, and my mother was always Conservative, so I tended to sort of go in the middle.
No man is responsible for his father. That was entirely his mother's affair.
My mother gave me my drive but my father gave me my dreams.
It's always written that my father was a rich, conservative John Bircher. That is untrue. He was not rich. He was not a John Bircher.
I didn't have any extra money. But I can't say that I had a hard early career.
I can write better than anybody who can write faster, and I can write faster than anybody who can write better.
In my case, my mother had to be my mother and father, so I am thankful to her.
My father and I are friends and my mother and I don't speak. It's a bummer. I miss her.
