A Book Quote for Sunday: from AS Byatt
“Think of this – that the writer wrote alone, and the reader read alone, and they were alone with each other.”
.
I quoted this in my Monday post on Truth, Lies, & Storytelling—but I liked it so much that I decided to feature it today. I feel it captures something intrinsic about the writer/reader relationship, as well as the essentially solitary, individual experience that is reading.
Enjoy!
