John Scott - Fiction

Famous quotes containing the word fiction:

“To value the tradition of, and the discipline required for, the craft of fiction seems today pointless. The real Arcadia is a lonely, mountainous plateau, overbouldered and strewn with the skulls of sheep slain for vellum and old bitten pinions that tried to be quills. It’s forty rough miles by mule from Athens, a city where there’s a fair, a movie house, cotton candy.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)

“... any fiction ... is bound to be transposed autobiography.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

“Being is a fiction invented by those who suffer from becoming.”
—Coleman Dowell (1925–1985)
