Great Regulars: "[. . . .] My theory about why Hemingway killed himself

is that he heard his own voice; that he reached the point where he couldn't write without feeling he was repeating himself. That's the worst thing that can happen to a writer. A new reader shouldn't be able to find you in your work, though someone who's read more may begin to." [--E.L. Doctorow]

from Sarah Crown: The Guardian: E.L. Doctorow: 'I don't have a style, but the books do'
