“As a novelist, you deepen your characters as you go, adding layers. As a reporter, you try to peel layers away: observing subjects enough to get beneath the surface, re-questioning a source to find the facts. But these processes aren't so different.” TryingDifferentEnoughCharacterFactsProcessSubjectsSourceSurfaceNovelistsLayersQuestioningReportersObservingBeneath The Surface Author:Amy Waldman
“I did all the stuff that people do - film, performance, photography, pictures and words, words and pictures. In retrospect, I was trying to find some way to put things - meaning images and forms - together that highlighted some idea of what was underneath the surface of an image, what determined how something was seen.” PeopleWayTryingIdeasTogetherFilmFormStuffPhotographyPerformancesDeterminedSurfaceRetrospectPictures And Words Author:David Salle
“The Brightwood Stillness is a novel I could not put down. On the surface, it is the lives of normal people in trying circumstances. Deeper, it is an uncannily perceptive exploration of male psychology… Pomeroy is a brave new voice capable of taking us beyond the clichés of war and its aftermath and into the secret heart of every man. This is simply the best novel I’ve read in a long time.” PeopleMenTryingHeartLongWarVoiceSecretNovelPsychologyCircumstancesNormalCapableLong TimeBraveMalesDeeperSurfaceEvery ManExplorationStillnessAftermathBest Novel Author:Andrew X.
