Writing Tape Letters

More From Nick Hornby

Darling, you asked me to write you a letter, so i am writing you a letter. i do not know why i am writing you this letter, or what this letter is supposed to be about, but i am writing it nonetheless, because i love you very much and trust that you have some good purpose for having me write this letter. i hope that one day you will have the experience of doing something you do not understand for someone you love. your father
Father Love You Writing
Strip back the beliefs pasted on by governesses, schools, and states, you find indelible truths at one's core. rome'll decline and fall again, cortés'll lay tenochtitlán to waste again, and later, ewing will sail again, adrian'll be blown to pieces again, you and i'll sleep under the corsican stars again, i'll come to bruges again, fall in and out of love with eva again, you'll read this letter again, the sun'll grow cold again. nietzsche's gramophone record. when it ends, the old one plays it again, for an eternity of eternities.

Tape machines are effects boxes as well because each tape machine has its own sound. you can over-load a tape machine or you can bump it a certain way so it compresses or makes a sound, tape saturation.
Sound Tape Machines
You must get into the habit of looking intensely at words, and assuring yourself of their meaning, syllable by syllable-nay, letter by letter... you might read all the books in the british museum (if you could live long enough) and remain an utterly "illiterate," undeducated person; but if you read ten pages of a good book, letter by letter, - that is to say, with real accuracy- you are for evermore in some measure an educated person.
Real Book Museums
A letter is not a dialogue or even an omniscient exposition. it is a fabric of surfaces, a mask, a form as well suited to affectations as to the affections. the letter is, by its natural shape, self-justifying; it is one's own evidence, deposition, a self-serving testimony. in a letter the writer holds all the cards, controls everything about himself and about those assertions he wishes to make concerning events or the worth of others. for completely self-centered characters, the letter form is a complex and rewarding activity.
Character Self Wish
Someone else who liked what i did might turn around and say, "she's reworking and rethinking everything. she could just be making blankets now, and be a lot wealthier." i'm actually making it difficult for myself. i wouldn't call it re-branding. if i get bored with my work, then other people will - it's that simple. and i'm not gonna get bored with what i'm doing. i'll struggle and fight and do new things to excite myself - and do it in my own sweet way.

Life Sweet Overcoming
The talk of lovers who have just declared their love is one of life's most sweet delights. each vies with the other in humility, in amazement at being so valued. the past is searched for the first signs and each one is in haste to declare all that he is so that no part of his being escapes the hallowing touch.
Sweet Humility Past
Through love all that is bitter will be sweet.
Sweet Bitter
Habaneros have a great fruity flavor, but the challenge is that you have to deflect the heat in order to taste the flavor. if you don't, you're dead. they should really have a warning sign on them. deflect the habanero's heat by pairing it with sweet food.
