Dear Mr. Cornwell, I just read an interview you gave in 1997 where you said you were writing entertainment, not literature. I’ll not debate whether your books “present ideas of permanent or universal interest” (Webster’s definition of literature) – war-heroism-loyalty-love-struggle-friendship, but you are surely an amazing and marvelous storyteller and unless I am mistaken, most of classic literature started out as great stories. Your books may not be classed as great literature, but I’d be willing to wager that people will still be reading them long after the angst-ridden, navel-gazing doom-saying that pretends to pass for literature now has been long gone. Thank you and don’t stop writing those wonderful stories! Roberta Parker
