Watching a bunch of her talks/interviews during the last 4 years of her life and hearing her mention so often that she's "just getting started" or "I haven't made my best work yet" is heartbreaking and heartening all at once
@GaryNReese3 жыл бұрын
Why do you say that? what writer/critic says, I've already written my best work, just waiting for the Nobel Prize? "In America" and "The Volcano Lover" were her best novels, and she knew that before she died.

Yes, and she was honest with herself and us. She seemed to be an eternal curious person. She told us she was interested in many, many things, much over literature and novels, like neurology, etc

Such mothers are a goft not only for their daughters, but, and its very very important being awake about that : even for the boys, the little boys !!! With her for a little boy it wasnt a fault to cry, it was a stupid thing liking dance or piano or drawing, or playing with dolls, why not

This is just so much more personal than I expected of her. It's rather special that way. I met a person who was looking after her when she was dying. She was furious at having to leave! Of course. I wish she was still around and telling us what she thinks about the current art world and anything else she would be thinking about. You don't have to agree with her but she will get you thinking, really thinking, if you want to understand what she is talking about. Referring to the essays. I find it's worth the effort.

Overall great comments here. I have read, been dazed and confused by her essays, as a teen-ager and college student. Stayed with her, and was always the richer for her insights even though I often didn't agree. Just bought her books -- essays -- again and her last two novels.

Charlie Rose is by far the best interviewer of creative people of all time. He gets to the very core of the creative process, and even gets his interviewees to figure out stuff about themselves they never before could.
@GaryNReese3 жыл бұрын
Rose never listens, interrupts frequently, was the male equivalent of Barbara Walters. He was only there because, in our cultural wasteland on TV, nobody else was.
Wrong. He is not who he appears to be i.e. the intellectual interviewer. He was charged with inappropriate behaviour with women. A phony.

There is a Japanese expression that goes something like ‘a man away from home has no neighbors’. This is usually used to explain the bad behavior of people when they leave their neighborhood and travel to distant places. The truth is that it is not institutions alone that support and confine us. Our sense of self is supported and clarified by those around us. We use a form of ‘extended mind’ to do this and in our interactions with others there’s a call and response that supports the idea we have of ourselves. It is an idea of ourselves that we grow to accept, even if we push unsuccessfully against it. This is a universal phenomenon. There isn’t an American exceptionalism entirely as Susan Sontag discusses. Anyone who leaves their neighborhood and travels a great distance is free from the eyes of those who know them. Away from our home, we do not encounter a ‘theory of mind’ of others that holds us within it that weighs us down like gravity. So when we travel from home, whether from middle America to New York or abroad, we experience a sensation of liberation with a promise of transformation. Whether you’re going from Poland to the UK, Syria to Turkey from North America to an Asian country and so on, you are continually reminded that you may not be who you thought you were, and that the sky may be the limit.

The great novels are educations of feelings! They enlarge your sympathies! Fiction gives you a model for caring about things you might not otherwise care about.
