Joyce Cary

Arthur Joyce Lunel Cary (7 December 1888 – 29 March 1957), was an Irish novelist. Quotes Sara could commit adultery at one end and weep for her sins at the other, and enjoy both operations at once. The Horse's Mouth (New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1944), ch. 8 (p. 22) Others complain that I don’t make the fundamental idea plain enough. This is every writer’s dilemma. Your form is your meaning, and your meaning dictates the form. But what you try to convey is reality—the fact plus the feeling, a total complex experience of a real world.
