Paul Goodman Was Not Ahead

I Read A Lot. I Liked A Tremendous Number Of Poets And Writers. The Person Whose Work I Liked The Most Was Joyce.

There Isn't A Story Written That Isn't About Blood And Money. People And Their Relationship To Each Other Is The Blood, The Family. And How They Live, The Money Of It.

My Family Were Russian Jews. They Got You To Read As Soon As You Could. And Then Assumed You Would Read A Lot. People Didn't Really Tell Stories But They Were Good Talkers. That's Important For A Writer, To Hear Speakers.

Write From What You Know Into What You Don't Know.

When You Have A Peace Movement That Has An Actual War, It's Different From One That Has Wars That Our Country Is Not Totally Involved In. During The War In Vietnam, And To A Lesser Degree The Wars In Central America Where Our Country Was Directly Involved, It Was Easier To Organize.
