“What does literature do for me? I think I solve problems in my writing. They may be my problems, but perhaps others share them, and in the process of working these through, I hope to entertain.” ThinkingWritingMayDoeProblemLiteratureProcessShareSolve Author:Sabina Murray
“Joseph Conrad and Heart of Darkness loom huge in my development as a writer. I think I'm always trying to write Heart of Darkness - trying to explode an abstraction in concrete terms, although I am aware that Conrad's story has a bit of baggage that I'd rather avoid in my work.” ThinkingWritingTryingHeartTermDarknessConcreteHeart Of Darkness Author:Sabina Murray
“I guess the wildcard here is Terrence Malick. He supervised me while I was writing the script for Beautiful Country, and he is a genius, although not always easy to follow. What I learned from him is that the narrative can be tracked through all kinds of scenes, that the strong narrative thread is not always the one that is most obvious. Creating narrative with Malick was a bit like chasing a butterfly through a jungle. This approach to narrative is fun and complicated, something that makes the process of writing constantly interesting to this writer.” WritingKindCountryBeautifulStrongFunEasyInterestingGeniusSceneObviousComplicatedAll KindsButterflyJungle Author:Sabina Murray
