This statement positions Waugh as the antithesis of writers such as Émile Zola who writing is deeply interested in exploring the psychological elements of character, especially in his book I have mentioned previously, Thérèse Raquin. It is drama, speech and events that interest me” “I regard writing not as an investigation of character but as an exercise in the use of language… I have no technical psychological interest.
