I write what....

[Paul Whybrow]

"I write what I would like to read — what I think other women would like to read. If what I write makes a woman in the Canadian mountains cry and she writes and tells me about it, especially if she says, ‘I read it to Tom when he came in from work and he cried too’, I feel I have succeeded."
