Anthony Burgess quote on charges that he was too prolific a writer. (And I like it because Ive heard that its better to write one book a year and make it a good one, rather than five books a year that are bad... as if those are the only two scenarios available.) It has been a sin to be prolific only since the Bloomsbury group—particularly Forster—made it a point of good manners to produce, as it were, costively. I’ve been annoyed less by sneers at my alleged overproduction than by the imputation that to write much means to write badly. I’ve always written with great care and even some slowness. I’ve just put in rather more hours a day at the task than some writers seem able to.
