“Theoretically, there are people who have a sense of humour about themselves and a droll awareness of their flaws. Who understand that all novelists draw on personal experience, and shrug off any fiction-writing relative’s kidnapping of kin as part of the job. Who, even if they do feel a little twinge on reading something seemingly critical of themselves, are self-confident and forgiving enough not to bear a grudge. But if such paragons exist, I’ve never met them, and they are certainly not members of my family.”
Lionel Shriver on writing about family.
