- Cindy Johnson accepts the 2007 National Book Award in Fiction for "Tree of Smoke" in her husbands honor. Recorded November 14, 2007, at the National Book Awards Dinner and Ceremony in New York City. Includes the surprise announcement by Francine Prose, Chair of the Fiction Judges Panel.
She never said anything about "slow read." She said "patiently read" and "close read," and simultaneously she wonderfully showcased how to incorporate skillful, in her case brilliant, slow reading into the thematic of a book. It's merely coincidental that she reads quickly and still with great patience and sensitivity.
i am speaking about a very good book she wrote called 'how to read like a writer'
bees in fog......the psychic distress of a sleeping squirrel....
I am not aware of anything Johnson said about Iraq. [ And would like to know what he said} THAT said, I have just finished ALREADY DEAD and am convinced he is, along with Philip Roth, the primary force in American literature.

i woke up a long time ago
unless i am dreaming it
As much as I admire Carver I think his influence has chastened countless young writers, and encouraged many who should not have been so encouraged. Johnson is a special kind of beast and bully...and has brought food and beast language [ W. Gass] back into the game.

well i’m sure they’ll both be shaken when they read this youtube comment
So am I
doesn't mrs. prose say you must slow read a book? yet she read 300 in one summer and was able to judge them fairly?
she sounds like the wind of a hollow tree, an unheard humming, bees in fog.
I am ashamed to admit I have not read THE NAME OF THE WORLD as yet [ and so will, soon deserve The Punishments]. I have, however, recently finished SEEK,which I found dull-minded and predictable. That said, I hold fast to my opinion of his gifts as a novelist.
