Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Stones From a Glass House "Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones" - Old Proverb. Some one somewhere has said that proverbs are the concentrated wisdom of the ages. But even the wisdom of many generations may, in certain cases, be questioned; and the writer ventures to assert that dwellers in glass houses are, by their very residence there, privileged to throw a few stones. In plainer words: the writer of fiction surely knows more than the mere reader of it, about the merits or defects of a story. To have attempted to write fiction is to know its difficulties; and a realisation of these gives at once more leniency and more severity to criticism. The novelist will always judge technical faults severely; because he knows that it is generally possible to avoid such blemishes by care and skill.
