Quizzing the Author

What one tip would you give any literature fanatic?

Be as open minded as is possible when you read a work of literature. That way, you can immerse in its world. The time for critical analysis must come after you read a book with a free mind.

What helps you understand books?

The will to read and the development of skills to engage with a variety of literary works. The more you read, the more likely you are to understand a new piece of literature. When I say read, I mean not just books, the world and the universe too.

Tell us a funny story about you and literature.

I once wrote a fiction novel during my University days when I studied Physics and Mathematics, but faced writer's block during my two years studying Literature.
