Tom Bissell Quotes

[M]y First Published Book Had Just Appeared In Stores. The Last Year Of My Life
the Year Of Finishing It, Editing It, And Seeing It Through Its Various Page-proof Passes
ranks Among The Most Unnerving Of My Young Life. It Has Not Felt Good, Or Freeing. It Has Felt Nerve-shreddingly Disquieting. Publication Simply Allows One That Much More To Worry About. This Cannot Be Said To Aspiring Writers Often Or Sternly Enough. Whatever They Carry Within Themselves They Believe Publication Cures Will Not, I Can All But Guarantee, Be Cured. You Just Wind Up With New Diseases.
