“I first read Wendell Berry's short-story collections, "Fidelity" and then "Watch with Me." They just knocked my socks off. The characters and the fellowship of the small town reminded me of my own small town in Illinois.Then I discovered that, much like J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, that all of Berry's fiction was centered in this same town.” FirstsCharacterStoriesMy OwnFictionWatchesTownsCollectionsShort StorySmall TownFellowshipFidelitySockBerriesIllinois Author:Nick Offerman
“I do have a collection of mid-century, small-press science fiction and fantasy hardcovers that is my most focused and dedicated collection. Everything else I tend more to acquire or amass than collect. I have vinyl records I listen to all the time when I work. But I don’t collect records. I just buy records where the price seems right and it’s music I actually listen to.” SeemsFictionFantasyRecordsCenturyScience FictionPressesFocusedAcquireCollectionsDedicatedVinylScience Fiction And Fantasy Author:Michael Chabon
“I remember I was very taken with a book called DreamTigers by [Jorge Luis] Borges. He was at the University of Texas, Austin, and they collected some of his writings and put them in a little collection. It's called DreamTigers in English, but it doesn't exist in Spanish. It's a little sampler. But that collection in English is what struck me, because in there he has his poems, and I was a poet as well as a fiction writer.” WritingWellsLittlesBookRememberFictionTakenPoetUniversityCollectionsTexasFiction WritersAustinBorgesUniversity Of Texas Author:Sandra Cisneros
