WRITER TALKING
“I think you can only write about what you really know. And probably most of the people are composites of people I’ve really met. But I don’t think I’ve deliberately tried in a novel to write a portrait of somebody I really know. I doubt very much if you can do this. This is biography and a quite separate art”—Novelist Jane Duncan talking about writing techniques in a 8.8. C. broadcast.
