Quote by John Boyne
And soon afterwards this manuscript will appear, my final book... There will be outrage and disgust and people will turn on me at the last, they will hate me, my reputation will for ever be destroyed, my punishment earned, self-inflicted like this gunshot wound, and the world will finally know that I was the greatest feather man of them all.
Summary
In this quote, the author anticipates the release of their forthcoming manuscript, which they consider to be their final work. They predict that the public's reaction will be overwhelmingly negative, filled with outrage and disgust. They believe that this book will lead to their ultimate downfall and that people will despise them. The author perceives this as their well-deserved punishment, comparable to the self-inflicted gunshot wound mentioned earlier. Despite the repercussions, they also claim that the world will come to recognize them as the greatest artist or storyteller among their peers.
