I cant change overnight into a serious literary author. You cant compare apples to oranges. William Faulkner was a great literary genius. I am not. – John Grisham
I have learned not to read reviews. Period. And I hate reviewers. All of them, or at least all but two or three. Life is much simpler ignoring reviews and the nasty people who write them. Critics should find meaningful work. – John Grisham
Quite often I can be in a bookshop, standing beneath a great big picture of myself and paying for a book with a credit card clearly marked John Grisham, yet no one recognises me. I often say Im a famous author in a country where no one reads. – John Grisham
And thats the mission of The Innocence Project in New York, is to exonerate people who have been wrongfully convicted, and also work from a policy angle with Congress and state legislatures to prevent future wrongful convictions. – John Grisham
Its not an accident that both my sister and I are writers. Our parents created an accidental Petri dish.
