Maybe When I'm Sixty-five I'll Talk About

I Do Think That Just About Whenever I Am Writing, Or More Accurately, Whenever I Have Written, I Feel Better And More At Peace As A Human Being. That Doesn't Mean, Unfortunately, That The Literary Product Is Any Good.

I Believe In Choosing The Hardest Book Imaginable. I Believe In Reading Up On What Others Have To Say About This Difficult Book, And Then Making Up My Own Mind.

I Have Sparred With Commenters As A Music Writer (on The Rumpus, Among Other Places, See E.g., My Review About Taylor Swift), And That Was Plenty Of Training!

There Is No Right Or Wrong Reading Of Naked Lunch, Though Some Readings Are More Common, And Thus Burroughs Commercial Is Not The Issue.

Maybe When I'm Sixty-five I'll Talk About My Literary Life.
