Two Things Quotes - Page 4

• I wouldn't have thought that the techniques of story-telling, which is what the novel is after all, can vary much because there are two things involved.There's a story and there's a listener, whose attention you have to keep.

And that's just the death part of it. Not to mention the asthma part of it, the heart attacks and the strokes and the cancers.
