Jack McClelland Quotes
The Thing You Don't Realize, My Dear Girl, Is That I Have Been Forced By The Economic Realities To Start Taking Publishing Very Seriously. For Example, It Has Been Brought To My Attention That Our Ability To Continue To Pay The Hordes Of People Employed By M&S (God Knows How Many Mouths Have To Be Fed) Depends Directly On The Number Of Copies Of Your New Book [Life Before Man] That We Are Able To Sell Between September And Christmas. In Past I Have Been Able To Treat This Whole Thing As A Fun Game. I Have Never Been Troubled By The Cavalier Explanations About Lost Manuscripts And Fuck-ups Of Various Sorts. Now I Have Learned That This Is A Deadly Serious Game. I Don't Laugh At Jokes About The Canadian Postal Service. I Cry. (in A Letter To Author Margaret Atwood, Dated February, 1979)
