"In early summer, we received an interesting call from College arborist Tim Vail. While working on Orr's Island, he [Vail] stumbled across the writing cabin of Lawrence Sargent Hall '36, the well-known Bowdoin professor who died in 1993. The amazing aspect of Vail's discovery is that the writing cabin sits unchanged from Hall's inhabitance a decade ago...According to Lawrence Hall, Jr., all or at least parts of any of his father's significant works, including the O'Henry Award-winning short story, "The Ledge," were written in "the fish house," as Hall called it (the shed was originally used by local fisherman to dry cod fish)." With Hall's permission, O'Donnell had the writing cabin moved to his property. (See About the Fishouse and the Brunswick Times Record May 25, 2006 story by Elizabeth Brogan - From the Fishouse.)

A Critic at Large. Just the Facts, Ma’am: Fake Memoirs, Factual Fictions, and the History of History - By Jill Lepore, New Yorker, March 24, 2008. "But Fielding meant it when he said that “Tom Jones” was true, and there’s a sense in which he was right. History matters, but the best novels boast a kind of truth that even the best history books can never claim."
Books: All That Glitters: Literature's Global Economy- By Louis Menand, New Yorker, December 26, 2005. "When the first Nobel Prize in Literature went to Sully Prudhomme, in 1901, the choice was regarded as a scandal, since Leo Tolstoy happened to be alive. The Swedish Academy was so unnerved by the public criticism it received that its members made a point of passing over Tolstoy for the rest of his life—just to show, apparently, that they knew what they were doing the first time around—honoring instead such immortals as Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, José Echegaray, Henryk Sienkiewicz, Giosuè Carducci, Rudolf Eucken, and Selma Lagerlöf."

Sartre was about five feet tall, and he had lost almost all the sight in his right eye when he was three; he dressed in oversized clothes, with no sense of fashion; his skin and teeth suggested an indifference to hygiene. He had the kind of aggressive male ugliness that can be charismatic, and he wisely refrained from disguising it. He simply ignored his body. He was also smart, generous, agreeable, ambitious, ardent, and very funny."

You can browse or search by correspondent. "I must tell you once again, Dreiser, that I have read the last five or six chapters of Book 2 with real agony. The slow, fatal working-up to the death of Roberta is one of the grimmest and most gripping tragedies that I have read in years. The whole idea was so powerful that I had difficulty in re-editing it for you. " T. R. Smith to Theodore Dreiser, June 3, 1925. Thomas Robert Smith, Dreiser's editor at Boni & Liveright, was referring to Dreiser's American Tragedy. Dreiser's letters in 1931 discussing the movie version of the book are especially interesting. Dreiser formed a committee and invited them to view the Paramount movie at a private screening on June 15, 1931. Members of the committee included Burton Rascoe, Ray Long, an editor at Cosmopolitan, Dr. A. A. Brill (Abraham Arden) and Arthur Pell. See, in particular, Dreiser's four page letter of April 30, 1921 to Burton Rascoe. "As I read the script which has been offered to me as the final plan of the picture, I feel that it might as well have been deliberately calculated to misinterpret not only my character and powers as a novelist, but my mental and artistic approach to life itself." The committee's views on the film are summarized by Dreiser's attorney, Garfield Arthur Hays, in a seven page letter dated June 26, 1931.

Highly recommended: The Hamlet, Recorded Books, 1993 and Go Down Moses, Recorded Books, 1995. These unabridged audio recordings are read by the very skillful actor Mark Hammer. "His voice has the sound of gout, of bunions, of a bum leg. He hoists himself gloriously along through the story of the white trash Snopes family and how they poison life in Frenchman's Bend, Miss. Hammer takes luxuriously ample pauses and his phrasing is impeccable, putting meaning and direction into Faulkner's infamously long sentences. This is an author who requires incredible stamina and lung capacity on the part of the narrator. Not to mention prescience. You have to know where each sentence is going before you start out, because sometimes it doesn't end until a page or two later. If Faulkner intimidates you, try Hammer. It is the best of several recordings of his work now on the market." (From Hammer Gives Direction to Faulkner Prose, by Sandy Bauers, Chicago Tribune, May 19, 1994) See also Hammer's obituary Versatile Actor Mark Hammer, 69; Taught at CU by Yvonne Shinhoster Lamb, Washington Post, March 15, 2007.
