'From Elements, a portfolio by Roger Vieillard in issue no. 16 (Spring–Summer 1957).
I began writing this essay while putting off writing another one. My apartment is full of books I haven’t read, and others I read so long ago that I barely remember what’s in them. When I’m writing something, I’m often tempted to pick one up that has nothing to do with my subject. I’ve always wanted to read this, I think, idly flipping through, my eyes fixing on a stray phrase or two. Maybe it will give me a new idea.'

"INTERVIEWER - What do you mean by “too literary”? What do you cut out, certain kinds of words?
SIMENON - Adjectives, adverbs, and every word which is there just to make an effect. Every sentence which is there just for the sentence. You know, you have a beautiful sentence—cut it. Every time I find such a thing in one of my novels it is to be cut."

Hi, friends--In honor of what would have been #KurtVonnegut's 100th birthday, here is a collaborative piece I did for #TheParisReview with Ben Greenman, David Holub, Josip Novakovich, and Avi Steinberg in 2013 called "Laughing in the Face of Death." Hope you enjoy. https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2013/04/11/laughing-in-the-face-of-death-a-vonnegut-roundtable/
