I'm a University Lecturer in English and the author of a novel, The Secret of Hurricanes (MacAdam/Cage 2002). My life is summed up by Rumi, who said: "My story gets told in various ways: a romance, a dirty joke, a war, a vacancy." Rumi's quote is the epigraph to Hurricanes. The purpose of this journal is to explore creativity and the writing life.

Provincetown / 10
Just worked through the whole night long, researching and writing. I shall, I hope, be hitting the ground running at Provincetown!
Congratulations on your fellowship. Kathy and I were in P-town Saturday. I'd say required reading would be Beston's Outermost House and Mailer's Tough Guys Don't Dance, as wretched as it is.
My favorite was the 6'3" blond man wearing a minidress and singing karaoke show tunes on Commercial Street with a sign that read, "Living My Dream."

Best of luck! I hope you'll tell us all about it when you return.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Just what I hoped you'd do.
