From The Paris Review: Playwright Michael (Noises Off, Copenhagen) Frayn offers some pragmatic, if slightly winsome, advice to novices: "If I were to give serious practical advice to a young writer about how to succeed I would say: 'Write the same book, or the same play, over and over again, just very slightly different, so that people get used to it. It takes some time, but if you do it often enough, finally people will get the hang of it, and get familiar with it, and they'll like it.'"
