“The book is constructed as a conversation…” E.L. Doctorow Quotes for Writers ( and people who like quotes)

When you’re writing a book, you don’t really think about it critically. You don’t want to know too well what you’re doing. First, you write the book, then you find the justification for it. The book is constructed as a conversation, with someone doing most of the talking and someone doing most of the listening.
