“Better to write for yourself and have no public than to write for the public and have no self.”
Cyril Connolly (1903-1974)
An Eton educated literary critic, Connolly was for many years the editor of Horizon, the influential English magazine on prose. He was well traveled, thrice married, and hobnobbed with many of the great literary lights of his generation, but never attained the success as a fiction writer that he desired.
