Excerpt from Appendix A
A further point; or rather two. Meredith and the Macmillan Company aside, I''m writing this book because it must be written. Must. You''ll see. If the things I am going to say can''t be put down here at last in some kind of decent order, then it will mean the damnation of us all.
Anyway I need your help. Your forbearance, your good will, your trust. If I possessed the genius of a joyce or a Proust - or their blindness, insensibility, pigheadedness, whatever it was that enabled them to scrawl out on paper, year after year, all their own purga tions and self - betrayals - I still could not say clearly what must be said in this book. Not clearly enough, that is. It could never be clear enough. We must muddle along and h0pe for the end, recognizing that none of us may get out of this with his skin. I shall be calling on you often - and quite directly, though I know this runs counter to all the rules of fashionable writing - for your help.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an introspective memoir by a man struggling to embark on a literary project that is constantly interrupted by his thoughts and digressions in this, his debut work. Written in a stream-of-consciousness style, the author reflects on his life, youth, and the place he intends to write from, nestled in the Berkshire Hills of Western Connecticut. The prevailing sentiments throughout are characterized by a sense of trepidation, excitement, and a questioning of one's capabilities and identity in the literary world. Ultimately, this is a book about the creative process and the fear that accompanies the task of beginning any great work of art.
