“A Dickens character to me is a theatrical projection of a character. Not that it isn’t real. It’s real, but in that removed sense. But Sherlock Holmes is simply there. I would be astonished if I went to 221B Baker Street and didn’t find him.”
Rex Stout (quoted in Mark Van Doren, The New Invitation to Learning: The Essence of the Great Books of All Times)
