The Right Of A Minority Is So

I Used To Work Very Long Hours. Then I Started To Realize That The Stuff That I Was Writing In The Late Afternoons, I Was Generally Throwing Out. So I Quit Earlier Than I Used To.

I Write From Seven To About Noon. I Used To Try To Write Longer, But I Read And I Found That I Was Always Getting Myself Tired By Working In The Afternoon And Then I Was Just Throwing Out What I Wrote In The Afternoon, So Writing Then Was Counterproductive.

I Am Trying To Make Clear Through My Writing Something Which I Believe: That Biography- History In General- Can Be Literature In The Deepest And Highest Sense Of That Term.
