Apparently AS Byatt and Margaret Drabble are related. And they dislike each other. Because of a tea set. Huh. My god, this is just like at my house growing up. Except that we weren’t writing and it was over a Chewbacca figurine. And an unappreciated wedgie.
“Any small thing may cause offence,” says Miss Drabble of Miss Byatt. “She was so upset when she found that I had written, many decades ago, about a particular tea set that our family possessed because she had wanted to use it herself. She felt I had appropriated something which was not mine. Writers are territorial and they resent intruders.”

That’s so funny. It reminds me of an interview with Rebecca West and her sister who in their 80’s were still squabbling like little kids.
