`SparrowSong on writing, critique and her passions

^lovetodeviate:iconlovetodeviate: reports, September 28
An interview with writer, critic (critiquer?), lit senior, `SparrowSong. Here are some tidbits:

“I like that my passions change. If nothing else, it gives me more to write about.”

“Everyone has heard the expression, ‘Give a man a fish, he eats for a day; teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime.’ If you don’t learn to critique, you will always be dependent on others to help you instead of being able to do it by yourself.”

“Art changes how we view the surface of the world to reveal truth or beauty—or both—underneath.”

IMPAC Longlist Announced

`xork:iconxork: reports, November 15, 2006
The longlist for the 2007 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, the world's richest literary prize, has been announced. Nominations for the 138-name list came in from 169 libraries from 129 cities in 49 countries. The list includes names like Salman Rushdie, JM Coetzee, Margret Atwood, Kazuo Ishiguro, Joyce Carol Oates, and -- my personal favourite -- Neil Gaiman.

The shortlist will be released on April 4 next year, while the winner, and recipient of the €100,000 prize, will be announced on June 4.
