trenchkamen: (WTF.)
Nicholas Sparks is a pretentious douche.

I can't believe how bafflingly arrogant this guy is about his mediocre books. Putting yourself in the company of Shakespeare, Jane Austin, and Hemingway?

"I'm going to interrupt you there. There's a difference between drama and melodrama; evoking genuine emotion, or manipulating emotion. It's a very fine eye-of-the-needle to thread. And it's very rare that it works. That's why I tend to dominate this particular genre. There is this fine line. And I do not verge into melodrama. It's all drama. I try to generate authentic emotional power."

Jesus Christ STFU. Like we don't already have ample evidence of the fact that a bestseller does not a good (or even decent) novel make.

I also like how fucking insecure he is about being called a "romance" author, and that the writer of the article keeps mentioning that he likes to "watch football", etc.

Just read the interview. There isn't much else I can add to it.
