William Murray asked William Timothy Murray:

What has been the most important single work of fiction that has influenced you as a writer?

William Timothy Murray Okay, so I asked myself that question because I often get asked that and it is a really hard question for me to answer! There have been so many works of fiction that have influenced me in one way or another.

If I absolutely had to list two novels, then I'd say probably either Dr. Zhivago or Les Miserables. Some other authors have been very influential to me are Dickens, Tolkien, St. Exupery, Patrick O'Brian, etc.
