William Styron talks about stuff

"I think we had had an enormous trauma happen to us. In the form of World War 2. It was a hellish war. Not all of us went into combat. I did not. Nor did I claim to. But I came damn close to it." [William Styron]

Hello

[@originoflogos]

Styron is correct on Hemingway’s writing being one of the last changes in American prose. Hemingway’s style of prose-terse, simple, yet substantially powerful-was unlike any in the time of his life. We have many writers-mccarthy, mailer-who use his style and mold it into their own. There are vestiges.

@tottenhamjake He's in the TV market. He has to keep the show going at a certain pace. Dead air for dead heads who watch TV need constant stimulation.

This is what Charlie Rose does all the time with everyone he interviews. It is very irritating.
