“I like to be surrounded by books. My wife Evelyn has a PhD in comparative literature so we have a lot of her Spanish and German literature books which are wasted on me, plus a lot of novels and books on art and architecture shared by us both.

“The problems you have as a novelist tend to have to do with making a living and trying to find ways to supplement the income you get from writing novels. For a lot of writers, that involves teaching. In my case, so far, I've been able to get by working in Hollywood with this TV stuff I've been doing. And it's very important, because my wife is a writer, too, and we don't have health insurance through any employer.” WayWritingTryingImportantProblemAbleStuffCasesNovelWifeTeachingTvsHollywoodMy WifeIncomeNovelistsEmployersSupplementsMaking A Living Author:Michael Chabon
“[My wife] liked to collect old encyclopedias from second-hand bookstores, and at one point we had eight of them. When I wrote my first historical novel---back in 1980, before I was online---I used them often as a research tool. For instance, I learned that the Bastille was either 90 feet high or 100 feet or 120 feet. This led me to formulate Wilson's 22nd Law: 'Certitude belongs exclusively to those who only look in one encyclopedia.'” FirstsLooksHandsLawUsedNovelWifeFeetResearchToolsHistoricalEightMy WifeInstanceOnlineBookstoresWilsonEncyclopediaSecond HandCertitudeHistorical NovelsBastille Author:Robert Anton Wilson
