'Great Expectations' was an important novel in my adolescence. It was very much one of those emblematic novels that made me wish I could write like that. It helped that my models as a writer were dead over a hundred years before I began to write.

"Great Expectations" war ein wichtiger Roman in meiner Jugend. Es war sehr einer dieser emblematischen Romane, in denen ich wünschte, ich könnte so schreiben. Es hat geholfen, dass meine Modelle als Schriftsteller über hundert Jahre tot waren, bevor ich mit dem Schreiben begann.
