Writer StatementI agree with John Gardner that the writing of fiction is the "creation of a vivid and continuous dream." To write, one enters this dream state and allows one's characters to inhabit one's being and to speak through one. My fiction influences are diverse and range from 19th-century traditionalists like Henry James, Edith Wharton and George Gissing to 20th-century modernists like James Joyce and Virginia Woolf and postmodernists like Donald Barthelme. The Decryption of Floriform X -- This short, illustrated fiction was written on Twitter circa 2008, each tweet numbered to keep track. The God of Wind and Air -- Unfinished sequel to Decryption, written collaboratively on Twitter. The Manuscript of Jacob Hall -- Why write fiction? What is it "for"? |
Wednesday, January 20, 2010The Jazz Loft Project
Now reading: The Jazz Loft Project, a coffee-table book on obsessed, visionary photojournalist W. Eugene Smith. This famous Life magazine luminary made beautiful black-and-white photography in which the textures look like molten metal. He also recorded great quantities of jazz jam sessions and found talk.
