More From Aleksandar Hemon

I was first published in the newspaper put out by school of the art institute of chicago, where i was a student. i wince to read that story nowadays, but i published it with an odd photo i'd found in a junk shop, and at least i still like the picture. i had a few things in the school paper, and then i got published in a small literary magazine. i hoped i would one day get published in the new yorker, but i never allowed myself to actually believe it. getting published is one of those things that feels just as good as you'd hoped it would.

I would never do a commercial for something that is embarrassing, and i think that people maybe have a different perspective on what is embarrassing or not. some people think doing a revlon hair commercial is really cool. to me, that's embarrassing, but world of warcraft: not embarrassing, very cool.

You just pick up a little bit of whatever the ones you think are appropriate, and you try and, you know, combine them. and then you bring in other people that are great for the things that you're not so good at.

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.

Yes, i think it's okay to abandon the big, established, stuck tribe. it's okay to say to them, "you're not going where i need to go, and there's no way i'm going to persuade all of you to follow me. so rather than standing here watching the opportunities fade away, i'm heading off. i'm betting some of you, the best of you, will follow me.
