A vida e a escrita

No The Guardian, uma coluna linda sobre a arte de escrever e de como a vida entra naquilo que escrevemos. Aproveito para citar um pequeno trecho:

But stories are there to be told, and each story changes with the telling. Time changes them. Logic changes them. Grammar changes them. History changes them. Each story is shifted sideways by each day that unfolds. Nothing ends. The only thing that matters, as Faulkner once put it, is the human heart in conflict with itself. At the centre of all this is the possibility, or desire, to create a piece of art that talks to the human instinct for recovery and joy.
