Atonement
Monday 19th June 2023
Quote of the day: “A story was direct and simple, allowing nothing to come between herself and her reader — no intermediaries with their private ambitions or incompetence, no pressures of time, no limits on resources. In a story you only had to wish, you only had to write it down and you could have the world; in a play you had to make do with what was available: no horses, no village streets, no seaside. No curtain.” (Briony in Ian McEwan’s Atonement)
