Review Detail of cute_dami9 in Love So Sweet

Thank you for your review! ❤

we arrive at the land of the number 2 pencils and legal pads—of thepracticalities of composition. These constitute, of course, the number-one cliché of the author-interview genre. Yet I asked questions alongthese lines, and I set down a selection of the responses here, because theyilluminate style. Thus Harold Bloom says: “I write in record books with aPentel black rolling ballpoint pen. It ’s the only way I can write—I’venever learned to type.” And suddenly one has an insight into Bloom’sprose, with its—yes—rolling cadences, and pre–twentieth century tone.Tobias Wolff says: “Because I don’t type, I can’t work any faster than Ithink.” And that sheds light on Wolff ’s style, which maintains a statelypace even as the action is speeding up.Perhaps the most surprising finding, in the practical realm, had to dowith computers—how many writers feel ambivalent or hostile towardthem, or, like Wolff and Bloom, don’t use them at all. This was especiallythe case among those self-conscious or analytical about style. The physi-cal effort involved in using a typewriter or pen provides for them, a help-ful speed bump in a word ’s passage from the brain to the page; word“processing,” nearly effortless, lacks a necessary friction, as well as thetactility common to all handcrafts.Handmade versus machine-made: the opposition clearly pertains toprose style. A handwritten text contains (often literally) its composer’ssignature, and there exist professionals who claim to be able to discernmuch if not everything about a personality from a single handwritingsample. Typewritten texts have a standardized look, but still, the imprintof a letter on the page is a function of personal touch. Holding a type-script in your hand, you can sense the physical presence[img=strong][img=strong]
