Great Writer, Rich Writer

From today's NYTBR:

[Ken] Follett was the subject of a profile recently in USA Today in which he recounted this conversation with a friend, the novelist and playwright Hanif Kureishi: "We were talking about what readers like," Follett said. "He said, 'I never think about readers.' I told him, 'That's why you are a great writer, and that's why I am a rich writer.'"
