More From Helen Dunmore

I was first published in the newspaper put out by school of the art institute of chicago, where i was a student. i wince to read that story nowadays, but i published it with an odd photo i'd found in a junk shop, and at least i still like the picture. i had a few things in the school paper, and then i got published in a small literary magazine. i hoped i would one day get published in the new yorker, but i never allowed myself to actually believe it. getting published is one of those things that feels just as good as you'd hoped it would.
Art Believe School
When emily dickinson's poems were published in the 1890s, they were a best-seller; the first book of her poems went through eleven editions of a print run of about 400. so the first print run out of boston for a first book of poems was 400 for a country that had fifty million people in it. now a first print run for a first book is maybe 2,000? so that's a five-time increase in the expectation of readership. probably the audience is almost exactly the same size as it was in 1900, if you just took that one example.
Country Running Book
I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.
Father Book Men
Books were rare,expensive, time-consuming to create and copy, and difficult to transport. that is why collections ofprint-based books developed around centers of religious belief, learning, and wealth. it was cheaper andeasier for people to come to the collection than for the collection, or parts of the collection, to go to thepeople.
Religious Book People
The books in mo and meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. there where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. books on the tv set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. they welcomed meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. and sometimes you fall over them.

I'm a reader of chinese literature, i like their films, but also: i've had great difficulty getting my work published in china; very little of it has been published there. the first two attempts to have all of my work published, for instance, were refused without any reason ever being given.
