Imagine a publisher signing a writer like Richard Ford to a three-book deal, then telling him to forget about those long, languid sentences and write punchier.

...Islamic leaders have come together again to try and make that happen. "This is the way forward," says Ford. "To combine Muslim solidarity around core teachings together with friendly address to Christians and respect for the public good as a whole." The letter ends with a quote from the Koran - "Vie one with another in good works ... Unto God ye will all return, and He will then inform you of that wherein ye differ" - before making a final plea for peace: "So let our differences not cause hatred and strife between us.
