"The best thing about writing fiction is your characters can't hit you back" - Alden Nowlan
This is a mellow collection and a good read. His collection The Night of the Party cut me. It captures how I've felt in many circles: in awe of the greatness around me.
The night of the party
Never have I seen women
wiser or more beautiful.
Never have I known men
so witty, so sensitive.
Here in my living room
are the twenty most remarkable
persons in all the world.
And me, the one fool,
who must dance
although too heavy
on his feet, sing
although his vocal cords
are out of tune.
But that is the price
I pay for such
companionship.
My Friends,
I do not get drunk for myself,
I get drunk for you
