I can't find who said this....

"Don't write a story about mankind; write about one man."

Anyone know?

I thought I'd have a search to see what I could find [I know you will already have done this but it's early and I'm coffee'd up...] and the only site with the quote...
This one...
The rest of them were about Neil Armstrong [great Guy but unlikely to be making quotes on writing], William Faulkner [possible] or other people saying they don't know where it came from...

 

[T.Allen.Smith]

Yeah. That's what I came up with too.

I'm fairly certain I saw it attributed to someone once.

I can feel a quest coming on...
"Mankind" makes me think post 70s...
oh... just found this...
“Don't write about Man; write about a man.”

Yea! That's it.

Thanks Joe.
