being alive
In the new issue of the Paris Review Amy Hempel attributes this quote to Gordon Lish: "Wear your heart on your sleeve, and people will read to find out how you solved being alive."
A lovely sentiment, although I don't think of Lish as being a writer who has ever particularly worn his heart on his sleeve. Perhaps I need to revisit him. I like the quote, in any case.
More of the Hempel interview can be read here.
