I didn't know what kind of jobs, because how was I prepared? At best, I would be an AB in English.
From John C. Hawkes
In The Lime Twig I took two very young people and made them very old.
As in The Lime Twig dream and illusion are right at the center of Charivari.
The only thing that exists is torment, lyricism, and the magnificence of language.
I do not feel an exile from America in any sense.
I'm only interested in fiction that in some way or other voices the very imagination which is conceiving it.
To be anywhere near an enormous ocean liner when you are just like a fish in the water is frightening.
It's hard to tell whether the ship or airplane - they're all the same, I'm convinced - is male or female; it may shift back and forth.
I used to carry about with me a German map-case filled with poems.
When I started writing fiction, I knew how good it was immediately.
