Fun to read.
I recently found this quote from a contemporary author:
“Jane Austen writes about people with desperately restricted
lives codified by iron rules. The first thing she does is to
choose a genre, the romantic novel, which is exactly the kind
of book those women would read if they were reading books.”
That illustrates to me a unique approach, where even the genre of the work itself serves the overall message and theme of the work.
And let me put in a word for Walt Disney, who I totally dismissed until I read about him. The parallels between his personality and that of Steve Jobs are fascinating.
