An Artist
"What does it mean "to write well"?
An artist--using the word in its genuine rather than childish meaning-is not a craftsman who knows how to evenly distribute "lively images", "telling details of everyday life", "colorful landscapes", and other trifles in his books; an artist is the one who finds a rhythm unknown before, and enlives and permeates the world he has created by this rhythm."
-Nabokov

ReplyDeleteI love the way Joe made you smile. Now it is Dave Rudin's turn! Enjoy, my sweet. I can't wait to see your work with Dave!
ReplyDeleteDave hopes to show Nettie how to develop film while she is still with him. (Still, crossing your fingers wouldn't hurt.)
