“I regard writing not as investigation of character,
but as an exercise in the use of language, and with this I am obsessed. I have
no technical psychological interest. It is drama, speech, and events that
interest me.” —Evelyn Waugh, “The Art of Fiction No. 30” (interview with Julian Jebb), The Paris Review, Summer-Fall 1963Thursday, January 21, 2016
