Question

what do you understand about the authors literary inclinations from the account​

Answer 1

Answer:

The author was the most well informed of all the members of the Gemini Studios. But he had a conviction that prose writing is not and cannot be the true pursuit of a genius. It was for the drudges with shrunken hearts. Here “the Hindu” published a tiny announcement in ‘The Encounter’ periodical about a short story contest. The author was in a mood to participate in it by sending his manuscripts. At the studios, ‘The Encounter’ was unknown. The author went to the British Council Library and found a copy. On reading the editor’s name he became happy to know that the man had visited the Gemini Studios.

He felt like that he had found a long lost brother and sent his manuscript. Years later the author was out of the Gemini Studios. He collected a book from a heap and paid fifty paise. It was a special low-priced student edition. It was entitled ‘The God that Failed.’ It had six essays written by six eminent men of letters. The essays described their journeys into communism and their disillusioned return. Stephen Spender was one of them. He was the same poet or an editor who had once visited the Gemini Studios.

Answer 2

Answer:

We understand that the author has a sound knowledge of names of periodical as well as poet in London. He was inclined towards a belief that prose writing was not for geniuses but for patients, persistent people who aren't affected by rejection. He is also quite cautious of submitting his stories to publishers and does his research before deciding whether or not the efforts is worthwhile.
