The Best American Essays 2006
Notes:
"We occasionally fall into brief brackets of health, only to return to our fevers, our infections, our rapid, minute mutations, which take us toward death even as they evolve us, as a species, into some ill-defined future." -- Lauren Slater, 2006 Editor, in her Introduction
"Acclaim of any kind is wonderful, except when it goes to someone else." -- Alan Shapiro, in Why Write?
"You need to be cynical about publishing in order to not be cynical about writing, in order to protect and preserve the deeply private joy of doing the work itself." -- Shapiro
"To flourish as an artist requires a tolerance for frustration, inadequacy, and a deepening sense of failure." -- Shapiro
"All one has to do to be a writer is to write." -- Shapiro
"... the sheer gaiety of projecting our voices out into the ambient air." -- Shapiro
"One of my problems, I realize, is that I tend to feel superior to other people -- smarter and, years ago, probably prettier too -- and that has always been my problem. Why can't I act like everyone else? Why can't I just fit into the group? Why must I be so judgmental?" -- Lily Tuck, in Group Grief
