Working Pool of Literature


What`s it like to be a writer?

"The case is clear: The original writer lives in France or South America (the most important ist the sea), he gets inspired sitting outside of his small cabin,watching the sunset every day, feeling tha gentle sea breeze, drinking red wine and smoking a cigar. He writes on quite an old typewriter and when there comes a storm, all the written papers fly on to the beach. By chance, a popular publisher grabs them and the absent-minded and chaotic writer also becomes popular so that he gets the possibility of drinking more red wine being happy sitting on the sea shore."

"Well, I imagine a rotten hotel room, dark, there is just one wooden chair and a table with a fucked-up typewriter. I sit at the table, beside of me, there are empty bottles of whisky and a half filled one with rum; the whole rooms chaotic and dirty. My trouseres stink, probably I didnt recognize what happenes being more than drunk the night before... I also don`t remember how I got that fat bruise beyond my left eye. I pound at the keys like crazy, on the floor are papers written with a bad hand , bullshit, crumpled up... Even the typewriter does`nt work well...."
