Hmm! Sounds very self-congratulatory. I suppose all memoirs are.
Sigh. Miss Snark, you super-sophisticated insider. You love your Snarklings so much you forget that most of us are not necessarily on the advance galley mailing list at Knopf. We can only pre-order, and suffer the trembling, sweet agony of anticipation until the day it can be ours, truly ours in one, mad frenzy of wqnfkvbo.
Huh. I guess my word verification writing exercise program may have some gliltches.
Don't have time - I'm writing a book, and when I'm not writing I'm pulling down wallpaper and painting walls.
I'm not exactly living the life of Riley, but I wouldn't mind living 'A Writer's Life.' I pre-ordered the book. I'll be watching for the test.
Golly, the NYTimes article makes him seem quite a tortured soul! Fourteen years between books, writing inspirational notes to himself, scapping a few years' work and starting over.. tortured artiste!
It's great he's married to powerful agent Nan, and has the luxury of taking decades between books!
Oh, the sorrow! The pity! The bespoke suits! The handmade shoes from Lobb's! The upkeep of the townhouse!
Nan Talese is a publisher not an agent. I didn't read the Times article. The book doesn't have a shred of pretension or angst.
I heart Gay Talese.
Have read many of his books, and will be looking forward to this one as well. For anyone who needs to read a book on a writer's life while waiting for this one, you might try Ray Bradbury's 'Zen and the Art of Writing.'
Thanks for the heads-up, Miss Snark!
Of course I'm going to order this!
Talese is from my hometown, which made me feel like I knew him (even thought I didn't).
