It was a subject close to the author’s heart: his books generally went through several versions before and after publication. One of Balzac’s most interesting tales, Le Chef d’oeuvre inconnu ( The Unknown Masterpiece), deals imaginatively and succinctly with revision. Most revise and, as they do so, create more problems than they resolve. She replied, “I write very fast and I never correct.” This is the ideal.

I don’t think anybody in this industry should sit on their laurels for too long. There were a lot of challenges, but it was time for me to do it and leave Hark! A Vagrant behind. ![]() It’s very difficult to take your personal story and make cuts when you’re so in the thick of it, to do what’s best for a book as opposed to the thing that you maybe care about the most.
