Jennifer Ryan asked Jennifer Ryan:

Which writer has had the greatest influence on you?

Jennifer Ryan My bookshelves are overflowing with books that I have loved, and to pick only one writer seems incredibly difficult. As a genre, however, I think that those beautifully-written British novels and plays from the 1920s and 30s, with their humor and clever sentences and imagery, really forged an impression on my own writing. Noel Coward, P.G. Wodehouse, Waugh, E.F. Benson, Munro, Forster, Katherine Mansfield, and the incredible Virginia Woolf all, I hope, made an everlasting impact.
