Why Do You Write About War?
Why Do You Write About War?
Michael Morpurgo eloquently explains the lasting damage that war creates within families, communties and societies as a whole and why he writes about the theme so frequently in his books.
'So that's a kind of strange collateral damage that war does that people don't really think about it disrupts wrecks lives, societies, communities, countries in a way that nothing else does. It's a manmade catastrophe which we seem to go back and back into. And I think because of that, that lives with me and has lived with me all my life. Every time I look at the television and I see a bomb going down, and whether it was Afghanistan or Iraq or wherever, you know that there is going to be grief following.
And you wonder, why don't people understand the pity of war, the tragedy of war and find another way to talk through their difficulties? And I'm still trying to work this out at age 70. So I write about it.'
