"The very existence of poetry should make us laugh. What is it all about? What is it for?"
--Kenneth Koch
“El subtítulo ‘Modelo para armar’ podría llevar a creer que las
diferentes partes del relato, separadas por blancos, se proponen como piezas permutables.”
What I mean is that you are a couple of great books away from being "on the list" and that I, more than any other, know what those couple of books need to be. *smiles*
(While I have definitely not been recognized by the Nobel Prize, I will never appear on a list of those overlooked.)
More likely that my joke fell flat, alas. (Not that being blinded by friendship is always a bad thing!)
At any rate, big official prizes for "Literature" are a very silly idea, to my mind. Your readers are your number-one prize; your contract for your next book is your number-two prize; getting a good gig because of your books is your number-three prize.
You need to do a book of lists. Have I already suggested this?
ResponderEliminarYou can publish this book either before or after you publish your book on writing exercises.
Up to you. *smiles*
You need to get your name on that list of writers not recognized by the Nobel Prize!
Yes, I definitely have NOT been recognized by the Nobel prize, That is an objective *fact.*

Yes, once I write "Ulysses" I will be half way to my Nobel.
ResponderEliminarI think you are kind of blinded by friendship here, Bob.
