Anne Fadiman Zitate

I always wanted to be a writer, and I did want to be a novelist. In college I took a couple of classes that taught me I would never be a novelist. I discovered I had no imagination. My short stories were always thinly veiled memoir.

Ich wollte immer Schriftstellerin werden und wollte Schriftstellerin werden. Auf dem College habe ich ein paar Kurse besucht, in denen ich gelernt habe, dass ich niemals Romanschriftsteller wäre. Ich stellte fest, dass ich keine Phantasie hatte. Meine Kurzgeschichten waren immer dünn verschleierte Erinnerungen.

The chances of a child coming through as I did... the world is too hard. On the other hand, I would always encourage children of mine if they wanted to be in school plays and dance and sing. But I wouldn't put them to work.

I've written short stories in first person, but you have so much more control writing in third person. Third person, you know what everybody's thinking. First person is very limiting, and I could never sustain a first person novel before.

I've always done more than I ever thought I would. Becoming a professor - I never would have imagined that. Writing books - I never would have imagined that. Getting a Ph.D. - I'm not sure I would even have imagined that. I've lived my life a step at a time. Things sort of happened.

I've always been a little bit more of a novel reader than a short story reader. I think the first books that made me want to be a writer were novels.

For me, being a writer was never a choice. I was born one. All through my childhood I wrote short stories and stuffed them in drawers. I wrote on everything. I didn't do my homework so I could write.

He wanted to play accordion on something of mine and I said you can play accordion, but I want you to play piano and organ on some stuff. He came over a couple times a week for two weeks and gave me therapy as to whether I should do The Thorns or not.
