Characters created from a writer's pen become so alive that they interfere with the reality plan.

A respectable writer, spying on the edge of morality.

Elizabeth Bowen 1899-1973

The Irish landowner, partly from laziness but also from an indifferent delicacy, does not interfere in the lives of the people round. Sport and death are the two great socializing factors in Ireland, but these cannot operate the whole time: on the whole, the landowner leaves his tenants and work-people to make their own mistakes, while he makes his.

E. Bowen

Irish by birth, during the Second World War she became known not only for her espionage books but also for her adulterous love life. Her life style became incorporated into the characters and events of her novels. When reality surpasses fiction it becomes a source of inspiration for it.
