“To value the tradition of, and the discipline required for, the craft of fiction seems today pointless. The real Arcadia is a lonely, mountainous plateau, overbouldered and strewn with the skulls of sheep slain for vellum and old bitten pinions that tried to be quills. It's forty rough miles by mule from Athens, a city where there's a fair, a movie house, cotton candy.” RealSeemsTodayValuesLiteratureHouseCitiesFictionDisciplineFairsTraditionLonelyMilesCraftsFortyRoughSheepCandyPointlessSkullsCottonAthensMulesArcadiaQuillsCotton Candy Author:Alexander Theroux

“Now that I no longer feel lonely, and now that my own past feels resolved in a whole new and very deep way, I am excited to write about the real world, to stay in it. Fiction is an escape, a parallel life, and it was a powerful source of comfort for me when my own life was raw and uncomfortable. I don't feel the burning need to disappear into a fictional character these days.” WorldWayNeedsFeelsWritingRealWholeCharacterPastMy OwnPowerfulFictionSourceComfortLonelyExcitedDisappearBurningThese DaysUncomfortableReal WorldParallelsMy Own LifeVery DeepFeeling LonelyFictional CharacterParallel Lives Author:Kate Christensen
