Why We Must Defend Writers - The Daily Beast - 1 views

  • Written stories are frozen voices that come to life when we read them. No other art form involves us in the same way—allows us to be with another human being—to feel joy when he laughs, to share her sorrow, to follow the twists and turns of his plotting and scheming, to realize her insufficiencies and failures and absurdities, to grasp the tools of her resistance—from within the mind itself. Such experience—such knowledge from within—makes us feel that we are not alone in our flawed humanity.

Gay Talese: 'Sinatra Has a Cold' Writer's Story on Sinatra Sparked a New Genre of Repor... - 1 views

  •  
    "In the corner of a smoky Beverly Hills bar, a legendary but fading singer stands, nursing a drink, a cigarette, and - much to his distress - a cold. And when Esquire magazine writer Gay Talese recounted that night in his 1966 story "Sinatra Has a Cold," he started a revolution in journalism - a new genre of reporting dubbed "New Journalism." With its attention to narrative and style, new journalism is practiced by such literary stars as Norman Mailer and Thomas Wolfe. But some argue the style has enabled, or even encouraged, the careers of slick stylists who add and subtract facts for the sake of a compelling story. Slate founding editor Michael Kinsley recently spoke to Talese about the legacy and future of new journalism."
