I want an ending that’s satisfying. i’m more of a classical writer than a modernist one in that i want the ending to be coherent and feel like an ending. i don’t like when it just seems to putter out. i mean, life is chaotic enough.

More From Jeffrey Eugenides

When modernist poetry, or what not so long ago passed for modernist poetry, can reach the stage where the following piece by mr. ezra pound is seriously offered as a poem, there is some justification for the plain reader and orthodox critic who shrinks from anything that may be labelled 'modernist' either in terms of condemnation or approbation. better he thinks, that ten authentic poets should be left for posterity to discover than one charlatan should be allowed to steal into the temple of fame.
Thinking Long Ago Pounds
As every writer knows... there is something mysterious about the writer's ability, on any given day, to write. when the juices are flowing, or the writer is 'hot', an invisible wall seems to fall away, and the writer moves easily and surely from one kind of reality to another... every writer has experienced at least moments of this strange, magical state. reading student fiction one can spot at once where the power turns on and where it turns off, where the writer writes from 'inspiration' or deep, flowing vision, and where he had to struggle along on mere intellect.
Wall Struggle Moving
I've always felt i had more in common with the modernist approach than with postmodernism, but i can see where the connection might arise - and to be honest, i'm no academic, so i tend to use these words, like in alice in wonderland, to mean what i want them to mean rather than what they actually do mean.
Mean Want Might
I always feel more comfortable in chaotic surroundings. i don't know why that is. i think order is dull. there is something about this kind of desire for order, particularly in anglo saxon cultures, that drive out this ability for the streets to become a really exotic, amorphous, chaotic, organic place where ideas can, basically, develop.
Thinking Order Ideas
I only knew classical music, which to me was the only true music. the only way i could survive at the bar was to mix the classical music with popular songs, and that meant i had to sing. what happened was that i discovered i had a voice plus the talent to mix classical music together with more popular songs, which at the time i detested.
Music Song Voice
My father was able to play a number of musical instruments and i fell in love with classical music in my teens and i allowed it to influence me. i like to think i took and still do from classical music and various techniques, i have made classical albums and recorded seven different pieces of bach on different albums and its all music too me.

Father Horror Said
My father being a caribbean minister, one day i stole the radio. the radio that i stole, i took it to school, showing off how big this boom box was and how bad i was at the time. once my father figured out where i left the radio, he then got his belt and he walked me, he beat me all the way to where i had hid the radio, and with the boom box.

I love him. (artemis) how can you say that? you don’t even understand what love means. love isn’t being ashamed to be seen with the one you care about. it isn’t about punishment or hurt. love is what gives you the strength you need to face anything no matter how brutal or frightening. it’s what allowed ash to be beaten rather than tell his father about you. it’s what allowed him to be gutted on the floor at your feet rather than publicly shame you. and you spat on him for that love and tore him apart. for a goddess, you’re pathetic. (tory)

Before i proposed to my now-wife, i was understandably nervous. my father suggested that i take stock of all of my experiences and relationships with women, from my earliest memories to present day, and see if i had learned anything that might inform my decision.
