Those who’ve followed my blog long enough know I’m no fan of the Schrodinger’s Writer Game. Is the writer real or unreal? What IS a real writer?

For ages, we quibbled that a real writer had an agent. A real writer scored a legacy publishing deal. One had to pass the NYC gatekeepers to be a real writer.

Ariel Levy curated this collection and while there are many exceptional essays in the book, it doesn't hold the same greatness as say the collections curated by Jamison and Franzen.

“Inevitably it follows that anyone with an independent mind must become 'one who resists or opposes an authority or established convention': a rebel. ...And if enough people come to agree with—and follow—the REBEL, we now have a DEVIL. Until, of course, still more people agree. And then, finally, we have ... GREATNESS.”

“The essence of independence has been to think and act according to standards from within, not without: to follow one's own path, not that of the crowd.”
