Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)

The first several weeks of a new novel, Oates has said, are particularly difficult and demoralizing: “Getting the first draft finished is like pushing a peanut with your nose across a very dirty floor.”

From Daily Rituals: How Artists Work by Mason Currey

Based on the Charles Schmid csse,which was also the inspiration for the Joyce Carol Oates story "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been" which was made into the movie SMOOTH TALK. More importantly, the film was an inspiration for the Angry Samoans song

are there instances of women becoming obsessed with historic events? definitely a male preoccupation with certain phases of history (Civil War, Nazis, Hitler) & reenactments of battles. women may obsess over reading, music & dance, kitties, doggies, clothes, gardening, men.

“But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?”

― Ursula K. Le Guin

HUH? HUH? HUH???

The challenge is to resist circumstances. Any idiot can be happy in a happy place, but moral courage is required to be happy in a hellhole.

Dico sempre, ai clienti, che la mia ricerca parte sempre dal mio gusto di lettore. Se non fossi un po' fanatico dell'oggetto libro, di certi autori, se non avessi scelto Lettere dopo il liceo sapendo che lo facevo più per me che per un ipotetico lavoro, non sarei qui, circondato da volumi da cui talvolta mi separo a malincuore. Ciò che mi rende felice è che ci siano tanti altri fanatici dei libri e me li immagino sfogliare e leggere frasi che ho tenuto da parte per loro, con la stessa cura di un guardiano di museo che ogni sera fa il giro delle stanze per controllare che i quadri siano al loro posto e magari si sofferma a farsi sorprendere ancora un'altra volta. . . . www.seunanottedinvernounlibro.it #libro #libri #libreriaonline #libreria #book #books #bookstagram #libriusati #librirari #primaedizione #seunanottedinvernounlibro #antonellaanedda #pierpaolopasolini #claricelispector #francofortini #jrrtolkien #tizianosclavi #joycecaroloates #einaudi #mondadori https://www.instagram.com/p/BuoxUIMHzA2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10uoe16cim35v

"When he now looks back at Limits to Growth, he still sees a degree of naiveté in its hope that new knowledge would lead to transformative action. He now predicts the collapse of civilization, simply because of natural processes that are already under way, out of control no matter what we do." (via Mefi)

"Should Trump get the Republican nomination—and right now he is the frontrunner—the Republican Party will have nominated for the presidency a man a jury found liable for sexual assault and defamation, and against whose followers a judge had to warn a jury to take precautions.

It’s not a great look." --Heather Cox Richardson 5/9/2023

"(When Fearing himself was called in front of HUAC, in 1950, to answer the question of whether he had been a member of the Communist Party, he answered with calculated irony, 'Not yet.')." (via @joycecaroloates)

#BookReview #Spoilers I heard this book suggested on the @booksinthefreezer podcast and it fit perfectly into my ABC reading challenge (I needed a book starting with Z). I can appreciate the book intellectually for delving into the mind of a sociopath and how they navigate their family and their inner monolog. However it just wasn't my cup of tea. A little too much talk of jerking off and erections. This book was basically a treatise on rich white male privilige. It was disturbing which is what exactly what Oates was going for but I felt it was a little heavy handed and not particularly well done. I can enjoy a disturbing book Tender is the Flesh being a fave. That being said its a quick read at under 200 pages, so it didn't take a ton of time to get through. 2.25/5 #Horror #novella #ABCChallenge #JoyceCarolOates #nerdymama #nerdybooks #booknerd #POCbookstagrammer #blackgirlsread #LatinxReader https://www.instagram.com/p/CRu4E4BL0Uk/?utm_medium=tumblr
