Joy Williams quotes about
dream drunk type
There is a certain type of conversation one hears only when one is drunk and it is like a dream, full of humor and threat and significance, deep significance.
technology animal suffering
A side benefit of the new and developing technologies is that soon we won't have to feel guilty about the suffering and denigration of the animals because we will have made them up.
grateful writing shadow
Writers end up writing stories-or rather, stories' shadows-and they're grateful if they can, but it is not enough. Nothing the writer can do is ever enough
inevitable irreversible
Nothing we do is inevitable, but everything we do is irreversible.
dream thinking responsible
I think the writer has to be responsible to signs and dreams. If you don't do anything with it, you lose it.
enough can-do
Nothing the writer can do is ever enough.
today language wanderers
Many writers today are wanderers. There is not only an unhousedness in language - how to convey, to say nothing of converge - but an unhousedness of place.
