“The Great Author ceases to be a separate entity” and
becomes “a symbiosis, a collective national product”, so that many writers “resemble those little rubber pigs or donkeys with a hole in their back where you blow them up”.

Cheering to see Hotel Milano appearing in Turkish!

libre kültür'de yazdım; tim parks ve "hotel milano" 📚

evren ne kadar gürültülü olursa olsun sessizliğin kıyısında kendisiyle sohbet edenler, yaşamın çoğu kez dünyanın ağırlığını umursamayan küçük ve hafif anların dinginliğinde nefes aldığını bilirler.

"Worst comes to worst, disillusioned writers might turn to AI to have their work appreciatively read."

Little portrait by my brother who used an old photo of me with his life drawing class at New York's School of Visual Arts... Thought it might be fun to post. https://t.co/XEQuEWcnQb

@johnmckeag Thanks John. There's a lot more straight travel writing in The Hero's Way. And again of a different kind in Italian Ways, my book on Italian railways.

[Tim Parks @TimParksauthor]

@womanandsphere @TheTLS Not easy! Many thanks!
