unearths some literary gems.
From The Paris Review Interviews, vol. I:
***The sort of question that the novelist William Gaddis…described jokingly: “On which side of the paper do you write?” [Introduction]***[Editor Robert Gottlieb] takes this enormous ego and lends it to the writer, thereby reinforcing the writer's ego. Bob is very generous with his ego." [Lynn Nesbit]***INTERVIEWER: You once mentioned some pancake poems.RICHARD PRICE: He'd write them on round paper, bring them to class, read them, pour syrup on them and then eat them. The sixties.***I just couldn't wait to read my stuff to people. I'd read to a fire hydrant. [Price]***[A newspaper reported that] “Miss Bishop read a poem called ‘The Moose’ and the tassle of her mortarboard swung back and forth over her face like a windshield wiper.” [Elizabeth Bishop]***
