"Chromos," he told his publisher, was written at the office between translations, to pass the time.

"Did you know that he's told his publisher to make a public admission?"

Belaney later told his publisher his father was Scottish.

She tells him her publisher is in town.

"Please don't sell it as soap," he told his publisher, Peter Jovanovich.

"You don't know what it's like," he tells his publisher, "to live day after day with a character you can't stand the sight of anymore."
