About This Quote
Authors are people who are able to speak the truth through their writings. They are people who are able to take an idea and put it into words that allow others to understand what they are trying to express. When the reality of a serious writer is a reality of many voices, some of them belonging to the writer, some of them belonging to the world of readers at large. The writer is not the only one speaking through the work; the voices of other people also come through.
When this happens, there is no unified authorial voice. Instead, every reader has his or her own unique perspective on what was written.
