Paul Bailey quotes
-
“Blanche is written with a terrible authority, the authority that comes from artistic necessity when the writer is compelled to write by his demon, rather than by his agent or promoter.”
-- Paul Bailey -
“It is one of the ironies of biographical art that some details are more relevant than others, and many details have no relevance at all.”
-- Paul Bailey -
“Disgrace is a subtle, multi-layered story, as much concerned with politics as it is with the itch of male flesh. Coetzee's prose is chaste and lyrical without being self- conscious: it is a relief to encounter writing as quietly stylish as this. I was not totally convinced by Lurie's musical abilities, with regard to his proposed opera, but that is my sole complaint.”
-- Paul Bailey
