the writer's thin skin and faint heart
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Mairs describes finding a writer's voice- reflections of enormous value because she has a prose style to kill for- witty, candid, utterly original, intellucally rigorous. She talks about her lukewarm realationship with the academcy while managing to actually put some extremely murky lit crit to good use Finally she talks about the downside of the writing life -- bad reviews, grants denied-- ''the writer's thin skin and faint heart''. Read this for sensual prose and writerly companionship.
