looks pages lasts
It's so wrong when I pick up a new edition of Huckleberry Finn and I look at the last page and it doesn't say, Yours truly, at the end.
thinking appreciated easy
Raymond Carver is good. I think he'll be appreciated more and more. He's an easy writer to imitate.
moving years space
When I was 12 years old, someone took me to see Martha Graham. It was nothing like what I thought of as serious dancing and even then I knew I was having a great experience. It was as if somebody was moving through space like no one ever did before.
nice writing surface
DeLillo never seems committed to me to what he is writing. Very nice surfaces, but he's got nothing underneath.
teacher students wanted
Faulkner turned out to be a great teacher. When a student asked a question ineptly, he answered the question with what the student had really wanted to know.
reading reason talk-to-me
The reason Saul Bellow doesn't talk to me anymore is because he knows his new novels are not worth reading.
blue jeans class
There are things in American culture that want to wipe the class distinction. Blue jeans. Ready-made clothes. Coca-Cola.
love voice long
I long for the raised voice, the howl of rage or love.
