Children of an angry God
Article Abstract:
Writing can sometimes be a way of confronting fate, according to writer Clive Sinclair. In his new book of autobiographical essays, entitled 'A Soap Opera from Hell: essays on the facts of life and the facts of death,' he details how he lost his mother-in-law, his mother, his wife, his sister-in-law and his father within 18 months. He believes that God has a grudge against him, and tries to lead a secret life in order to hide from God. He is aware that this approach clashes with his responsibility as a writer.
