I’m a home-roamer and can’t do study or office scenarios Picture Quote #1

You can’t see all of a place until you look at it from a distance Picture Quote #1

Revisiting much-loved childhood novels is never easy Picture Quote #1

Wonderful characters rotate around and through bookshops on a daily basis, competing with and possibly even triumphing over fiction when it comes to entertainment, strangeness and inspiration Picture Quote #1

I was a terrible painter - my portraits looked like the evil chimera love-children of Picasso’s demoiselles and the BBC test card clown Picture Quote #1

Set in a nameless colonial country, in an unspecified era, Katie Kitamura’s second novel tracks the fortunes of a landowning family during the first waves of civil unrest Picture Quote #1

I was the feral, mud-bathing, tree-climbing variety of child. Why would I want to read about pirates when I could build a raft and terrorise sheep along the riverbanks? Picture Quote #1

Swimming in the cold and the dark of British autumn is not for the faint-hearted Picture Quote #1

Life is not straightforward: relationships bifurcate; there is nothing more complicated, more confounding, than love Picture Quote #1

For its speculations to be taken seriously, dystopian fiction must be part of a discussion of contemporary society, a projection of ongoing political failures perhaps, or the wringing of present jeopardy for future disaster Picture Quote #1

Having judged a few competitions, it’s clear that novelists are often the laziest short story writers Picture Quote #1

The beauty of interdisciplinary conversation is that the mode of expression is essentially different for each practitioner, even if ideas are shared Picture Quote #1

Dystopian novels, such as Orwell’s ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four,’ often tend to site their despotised or deformed civilisations in urban environments Picture Quote #1

In my early 20s, connecting with fiction was a difficult process. There seemed to be little rhyme or reason to what was meaningful, what convinced, and what made sense Picture Quote #1

Swimming in the U.K. is not really about enjoying a sultry experience. It’s about cold, clear acts of purification, and constitutional durability. It’s about invigoration and bravado Picture Quote #1

I tend to research as I write so that the narrative can take priority, which is important for a piece of fiction, I think, finding out facts as and when I need to Picture Quote #1

I write in the mornings or afternoons - I’m not a night owl and can write for only four or five hours maximum Picture Quote #1

I felt impelled to write. It felt demonic, and I wanted to improve, the way some people habitually pick up a guitar and get better at playing it and making up songs Picture Quote #1

My favourite pool is located in a remote valley in the eastern Lake District, surrounded by vine-hung cliffs and slippery boulders. It has a torrential sheet waterfall at one end and is almost black in colour, so it appears bottomless, a portal to nowhere Picture Quote #1

All innocent mechanisms are muddied up with experience. Children become less and less translucent. Layers of guile and suspicion grow. It’s the law of paternal disenchantments Picture Quote #1

When you are a kid, a wolf is an amazing sight, so sumptuous. I sort of knew these were splendid creatures, that I was not going to find them outside roaming around. It was like a dog, but not a dog. It was incredible, a god! Picture Quote #1

Art history became an A-level option at my school the year I started sixth form. This happened because another student and I cajoled and bullied the head of the art department into arranging it with the examination board Picture Quote #1

Apex predators are good for an environment in terms of biodiversity and trophic cascade - we have very few. But realistically, only a few areas could sustain free-roaming wolves in Britain, mostly in Scotland Picture Quote #1

It’s been noted that writing about the production of art is a masquerade or metaphor for writing about writing. This may be true, there are similarities - both the verbal and the visual represent the thing or the concept Picture Quote #1

You think back and you ask yourself why you became so interested in wolves. I think it was because when I was very small, growing up in a little hamlet near Shap, we would go to Lowther Wildlife Park for birthday parties. Now closed, it was only three miles from my parents’ house Picture Quote #1

My writing is called exotic or avant-garde because I write about rural places. Has it really come to this, that if you write about the country you are avant-garde? How did this happen? Modern agriculture and spaces are still so relevant Picture Quote #1

My work is of me; it’s not me. I want it to be far more extraordinary than I am Picture Quote #1

Over the years, I’ve lived in a variety of places, including America, but I was born and raised in the Lake District, in Cumbria. Growing up in that rural, sodden, mountainous county has shaped my brain, perhaps even my temperament Picture Quote #1

Of all the conditions we experience, solitude is perhaps the most misunderstood Picture Quote #1

I’ll tell you this, lad: A tattoo says more of a fellow looking at it than it can do of the man who’s got it on his back Picture Quote #1
