Novelist


Confabulator, inventor, plotter, hallucinator, lucubrator. 

"The business of the novelist is not to chronicle great events but to make small ones interesting." 

--Arthur Schopenhauer. 

 (Quoted in The Viking Book of Aphorisms, A Personal Selection by W. H. Auden and Louis Kronenberger (1962).)

    What a great quote. Where would we be without the novelist? The novelist gives meaning and so gives hope to humanity.
    thank you, and keep up the great blog, Richard!
