More From Junot Diaz

Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead. this scarcity makes leadership valuable...it's uncomfortable to stand up in front of strangers. it's uncomfortable to propose an idea that might fail. it's uncomfortable to challenge the status quo. it's uncomfortable to resist the urge to settle...if you're not uncomfortable in your work as a leader, it's almost certain you're not reaching your potential as a leader.

This is a general law of the universe, overlooked by science, that out of complexity emerges greater complexity. we could almost say that the universe, nature, is a novelty-conserving, or complexity-conserving engine.

The unconscious wants truth, as the body does. the complexity and fecundity of dreams come from the complexity and fecundity of the unconscious struggling to fulfill that desire. the complexity and fecundity of poetry come from the same struggle.

There are dance artists, painting artists and writing artists. authors are writing artists. you can practice art in whatever medium you choose, and words are mine.
Art Writing Practice
Vulnerability of artists is definitely what makes organizations like pen necessary because, as i tried to argue, the actual work that writers and artists do has an ornery way of surviving. particularly in this age of the internet, it is very easy for forbidden work to be found online somewhere if you know where to look. artists themselves, however, are in increasing danger, and not just artists. the great concern is that year after year, rising numbers of journalists are being killed in pursuit of their work.
Artist Age Arguing
Artists look at the environment, and the best artists correctly diagnose the problem. i'm not saying artists can't be leaders, but that's not the job of art, to lead. bob marley, nina simone, harry belafonte - there are artists all through history who have become leaders, but that was already in them, nothing to do with their art.

Writers are egotists. all artists are. they can’t be altruists and get their work done. and writers love to whine about the solitude of the author’s life, and lock themselves into cork-lined rooms or droop around in bars in order to whine better. but although most writing is done in solitude, i believe that it is done, like all the arts, for an audience. that is to say, with an audience. all the arts are performance arts, only some of them are sneakier about it than others.

Because of the nature of my life, because i train a great many people, i come upon such a huge variety of human species, as well as the earth species for that matter.

The narrative of serial art works more like music than like literature.
