Hello, good morning, on this Sunday morning. The weather is typical, clear, and boring here in Utah.
Tomorrow is the day. If you're book isn't in the lead (East of Eden is the clear leader), get other people involved. Of course, I understand the difficulty of this for most of you; how many people does anyone know, after all, who actually wants to take an extra English class?
This isn't an English class. Call it Book Club. "Come join the book club!" you might say.
QUESTION #1
Is it possible for an author to dissociate himself (excuse, please, the generic masculine (women, consider the respect I offer by not so vainly using your gender)) from his writing? Consider extremes: something so simple as "In a Station of the Metro," by Ezra Pound, or the Lord of the Rings trilogy, by Tolkein. Why would an author attempt to remove himself from his writing, or, on the other hand, is there benefit to permitting his blood to flow across the page? Please provide examples from your own reading experiences that may apply.
