As Mathews says in his preface to the book, "Even for a dubious, wary writer, twenty lines seemed a reassuringly obtainable objecdve, especially if they had no connection with a 'serious' project like a novel or an essay." Despite himself and because of himself, we now have an absolutely remarkable demonstration of the writer's craft. Vissza
