Lot Essay

'There's a grotesque streak in me and I can't help it. My characters? They are all people you might see in a park ... They are real people, sad people ... I'm attracted to sadness, and there are some very sad things' (L.S. Lowry, in an interview with Edwin Mullins, Sunday Telegraph, 20 November 1966).
