Post World War II Writer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
His idea of being a writer was formed in the years after World War II. Exemplary modern writers were men of learning. The criticism of Eliot was articulate and striking. Values of art persisted and Solotaroff wrote only seven stories in five years, endlessly polishing them. The literary atmosphere was thick with authority. The pages of the PARTISAN RIVIEW were particularly seductive to him. Under the twin sign of alienation and integrity he courted failure. The group to which he was attracted, the PARTISAN REVIEW group, was now scattered among universities. Literary careers are difficult to speculate about since they are so individual. Whether someone lasts has to do with durability. How does one deal with rejection, uncertainly, and disappointment. Raymond Carver has written that a good book is an honest one. Creativity is a mode of play. It is exploration.
