How to Win Ail Author^'
'•There's no greater fallacy,'' said
an author at the Authors' Club, '"than
the popular one to the effect that writ
ers don't like you to talk to them about
their work.
'"Mark Twain exploded this fallacy
well when he said that there were t
three ways of pleasing an author—first
to tell him that you have read one of
his books; second, to tell him you have
read all hi* books, and, third, to ujk
him to let you read the manuscript of
his forthcoming book. The first way
wius his respect, the second wins his i
I friendship and the third wins his love.''
