“The Brightwood Stillness is a novel I could not put down. On the surface, it is the lives of normal people in trying circumstances. Deeper, it is an uncannily perceptive exploration of male psychology… Pomeroy is a brave new voice capable of taking us beyond the clichés of war and its aftermath and into the secret heart of every man. This is simply the best novel I’ve read in a long time.” PeopleMenTryingHeartLongWarVoiceSecretNovelPsychologyCircumstancesNormalCapableLong TimeBraveMalesDeeperSurfaceEvery ManExplorationStillnessAftermathBest Novel Author:Andrew X.

“I believe in plot, in development of character, in the effect of the passage of time, in a good story - better than something you might find in the newspaper. And I believe a novel should be as complicated and involved as you're capable of making it.” ShouldBelieveCharacterStoriesMightI BelieveNovelEffectsDevelopmentInvolvedCapableI Believe InComplicatedNewspapersPlotPassagesGood StoryPassage Of Time Author:John Irving
“The novel is final form; it's the ultimate individual final form. Television and motion pictures never get there. You'd be fabulous to think that something you write is even going to be filmed. I give it the best shot of which I'm capable. But it's more a payday for me. And if I didn't have alimony and the full-time assistant.” IfsThinkingGivingWritingFormIndividualNovelTelevisionCapableShotsUltimateFinalsFabulousAssistantsMotion PicturesBest ShotAlimonyPayday Author:James Ellroy
