FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF HIS DARK MATERIALS AND THE BOOK OF DUST COMES A SPELLBINDING JOURNEY INTO THE SECRETS OF HIS ART
Warm, entertaining, and above all thought-provoking, Daemon Voices provides a remarkable insight into the mind of one of our greatest writers.
He explains which storytellers have meant the most to him, including William Blake and John Milton, why their work has resonated with him, and how it has inspired his own thinking.
In over 30 essays, written over 20 years, Philip Pullman reveals the narratives that have shaped his vision, his experience of writing, and the keys to mastering the art of storytelling.

Quotes

    You can also see what they do, of course, but that doesn’t come in the form of words—it comes in the form of pictures, and you have to find the words, and that’s not so easy.
  • billecarthas quoted3 years ago
    Once you’ve got the characters established in your mind you can hear what they say to each other quite easily. And because they give you the words, you can write them down.
  • billecarthas quoted3 years ago
    Another aspect of the “Where do I put the camera?” question is that of the narrator. Who is telling the story? Whose words do we read? Whose voice do we hear?
