“I am never much interested in the effects of what I write....I seldom read with any attention the reviews of my...books. Two times out of three I know something about the reviewer, and in very few cases have I any respect for his judgments. Thus his praise, if he praises me, leaves me unmoved. I can't recall any review that has even influenced me in the slightest. I live in sort of a vacuum, and I suspect that most other writers do, too. It is hard to imagine one of the great ones paying any serious attention to contemporary opinion.” IfsKnowsWritingI CanTwoBookHardThreeAttentionOpinionCasesImagineEffectsSeriousJudgmentPraiseContemporarySuspectsReviewsRecallsLeaving MeVacuumsGreat OnesReviewers Author:H.
