More From Alberto Manguel

I'm so used to artists saying to me, "listen, i'm going to have five pages done next week," and then three weeks later i'm phoning them, begging them for two pages. and stuart [immonen]is a guy who will promise you five pages and deliver six pages, and the six pages are even better than you could have ever imagined.
Artist Next Week Two
I heard of martin luther king jr. when i was 15 years old. i heard of rosa parks. and i met dr. king in 1958 at the age of 18. i met rosa parks ... but to pick up a fun comic book - some people used to call them "funny books" - to pick this little book up, it sold for 10 cents, 12 pages or 14 pages? 14 pages i digested. and it inspired me. and i said to myself, "if the people of montgomery can do this, maybe i can do something. maybe i can make a contribution."
Kings Fun Book
He couldn't bear to live, but he couldn't bear to die. he couldn't bear the thought of he making love to someone else, but neither could he bear the absence of the thought. and as for the note, he couldn't bear to keep it, but he couldn't bear to destroy it either.
Making Love Bears Absence
The burning of a book is a sad, sad sight, for even though a book is nothing but ink and paper, it feels as if the ideas contained in the book are disappearing as the pages turn to ashes and the cover and binding--which is the term for the stitching and glue that holds the pages together--blacken and curl as the flames do their wicked work. when someone is burning a book, they are showing utter contempt for all of the thinking that produced its ideas, all of the labor that went into its words and sentences, and all of the trouble that befell the author . . .
Book Sadness Thinking
I cannot project the degree of hatred required to make those women run around in crusades against abortion. hatred is what they certainly project, not love for the embryos, which is a piece of nonsense no one could experience, but hatred, a virulent hatred for an unnamed object...their hatred is directed against human beings as such, against the mind, against reason, against ambition, against success, against love, against any value that brings happiness to human life. in compliance with the dishonesty that dominates today's intellectual field, they call themselves "pro-life".
Running Ambition Pro Life
Coming down off the trail, i am lost in my own thoughts and unprepared when a bear chugs across the path just before it gives out on the gravel road. i am so distracted that i keep walking towards the bear. i only stop when it rears, stands on hind legs, and stares at me, sensitive nose pressed into the air, weak eyes searching. i have never been this close to a wild bear before, but i am not frightened. there is no menace in its stance; it is not even curious. the bear seems to know who or what i am. the bear is not impressed.
