Another bit I liked from Hynes is his report on E. M. Forster's assessment of his own novels as "good but not great . . . But though he was critical of his own work, he was not self-denigrating. He was certain that he had written good, substantial fiction, and he was frank to admit that he re-read his novels with pleasure."
I like that. It makes me feel a little better about myself in that regard.
