Writers rush in where publishers fear to tread and where translators fear to tread

If the sleep of reason produces monsters, what does the sleep of unreason produce?

The relationship between reader and characters is very difficult. It is even more peculiar than the relationship between the writer and his characters.

I was able to read a movie before I was able to read a book

I think writers rush in where everybody is very frightened to tread

That is what I define as a novel: something that has a beginning, a middle and an end, with characters and a plot that sustain interest from the first sentence to the last. But that is not what I do at all.

I know that many writers have had to write under censorship and yet produced good novels; for instance, Cervantes wrote Don Quixote under Catholic censorship.
