More quotes by William Kennedy
"Without a sense of place the work is often reduced to a cry of voices in empty rooms, a literature of the self, at its best poetic music; at its worst a thin gruel of the ego."
"You have to beat your own problematic imagination to discover what it is you're saying and how to say it and move forward into the unknown."
"Anger makes people stupid."
"Aspiring writers should read the entire canon of literature that precedes them, back to the Greeks, up to the current issue of The Paris Review."
"Everyone is interesting except the narrator in a first-person story."
