I Don't Really Write Plots. I Use

If You Can Live In Paris, Maybe You Should.

I Write What I Call 'novels Of Consolation' For People Who Are Bright And Sophisticated.

And, With Much Of Europe Occupied By Nazi Germany, And Mussolini's Armies In Albania, On The Greek Frontier, One Wasn't Sure What Came Next. So, Don't Trust The Telephone. Or The Newspapers. Or The Radio. Or Tomorrow.

Live Today, For Tomorrow We Die.

You Write A Lot Of Books; You Hope You Get Better.
