Write on Four Corners with DelSheree Gladden: radio & podcast interview

| This book really grew on me. Yes, it was frustrating at times for various reasons, but it was also very smart, beautifully written, with a cool premise, and sympathetic characters that really stay with you. The true test of a good novel, for me, is i ...more | |

Thanks to NetGalley for providing this ARC. A writer is hired to go to Rome to conduct research for a strange and mysterious organization. Things get weird pretty quickly; our protagonist has to sign an NDA, and suspects that she’s under constant surv ...more |

| Another incredibly good early novel by Ken Follett. I listened to a BBC Maestro class with this author and it was also excellent; he talks about how extensively he researches and outlines and when you listen to him lay out his technique it can sound ...more | |

“Read good writing, and don’t live in the present. Live in the deep past, with the language of the Koran or the Mabinogion or Mother Goose or Dickens or Dickinson or Baldwin or whatever speaks to you deeply. Literature is not high school and it’s not actually necessary to know what everyone around you is wearing, in terms of style, and being influenced by people who are being published in this very moment is going to make you look just like them, which is probably not a good long-term goal for being yourself or making a meaningful contribution. At any point in history there is a great tide of writers of similar tone, they wash in, they wash out, the strange starfish stay behind, and the conches.”

“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”

“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”

“It’s hard to stay away from religion when you mess with acid.”

“Sit in a room and read--and read and read. And read the right books by the right people. Your mind is brought onto that level, and you have a nice, mild, slow-burning rapture all the time.”
