“I love reference books, especially collections of memorable quotations, almanacs, and atlases. Facts to me are like candy or popcorn - small, tasty delights - and I like to gorge on them now and then.” BookFactsDelightMemorableCollectionsNow And ThenQuotationsCandyPopcornTastyGorges Author:Walter Kirn
“I disagree that Blood Will Out is a memoir in the conventional sense. It's the story of a relationship, primarily, not an individual. The "me" in the book is a specialized version of me, the person who Clark manipulated and fooled. I could cover the same years of my life from an entirely different perspective in another book, by concentrating on my experience as a husband, say. But I was selective. I focused on my duping.” YearsPersonsBookDifferentStoriesIndividualBloodPerspectiveHusbandFocusedMemoirVersionsDisagreeConventionalFooledConcentratingSelectiveDifferent Perspective Author:Walter Kirn
“My advice for aspiring writers is go to New York. And if you can’t go to New York, go to the place that represents New York to you, where the standards for writing are high, there are other people who share your dreams, and where you can talk, talk, talk about your interests. Writing books begins in talking about it, like most human projects, and in being close to those who have already done what you propose to do.” PeopleIfsWritingHumansBookDoneDreamInterestTalkingShareAdviceNew YorkProjectsStandardsYour DreamsProposeWriting A BookAspiring Writers Author:Walter Kirn
