CLAIRE-LOUISE BENNETTI read an essay recently by Sontag about Elias Canetti and his capacity for admiring other writers.I think those moments when someone breaks through through the facade and acknowledges that were all doing this thing together are so interesting.

a period of time that saw us both visiting friends and family as the world was beginning to open up again.at a time when there seemed to be no room in the mainstream literary culture for that Sontagian seriousness.The idea that they might be collected in a volume and published did not occur to Elkin at the time of writing; the purpose of her project then was a personal one.

These writers are really gifted in being able to create a sense of presence in their work—which is something I find really exciting.yet—and this is something that Peter Brook writes about so well—much of what goes into a theatrical space has already been worked out.

I know Sontags writing had a big impact on you when you were starting out as a writer—can you recall the nature of that impact and how you sought to attest to it? What value do you think there is in admiring another writer to the extent that one is in thrall to them?LAUREN ELKINI love the Canetti essay—thats one that really means a lot to me.

Perhaps once they got down there theyd never be able to come back up again? Id love to include those lines here.If you have some other JBL speakers.
