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, August 18, 2010Audio Report: Schoenberg, Webern, Berg
Just listened to a CD featuring Schoenberg:
Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951) Concerto for Piano, op. 42 Drei Klavierstucke, op. 11 Sechs Kleine Klavierstucke, op. 19 Anton Webern (1883-1945) Variations, op.27 Alban Berg (1885-1935) Piano Sonata, op. 1 Pianist Mitsuko Uchida performs solo and with the Cleveland Orchestra, Pierre Boulez conducting. Recording dates: 1998 and 2000. This music is atonal, serial, twelve-tone. Berg and Webern were both students of Schoenberg. I liked best the Berg sonata, which reminded me somewhat of Scriabin. It was written in 1907-08. Labels: audio posted at
