Mean Fiction Way

More From Helen Garner

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
Money Night Crowds
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
Writing fiction is not a profession that leaves one well-disposed toward reading fiction. one starts out loving books and stories, and then one becomes jaded and increasingly hard to please. i read less and less fiction these days, finding the buzz and the joy i used to get from fiction in ever stranger works of non-fiction, or poetry.

For after all, what is there behind, except money? money for the right kind of education, money for influential friends, money for leisure and peace of mind, money for trips to italy. money writes books, money sells them. give me not righteousness, o lord, give me money, only money.
Book Writing Giving
Memory is like fiction; or else it's fiction that's like memory. this really came home to me once i started writing fiction, that memory seemd a kind of fiction, or vice versa. either way, no matter how hard you try to put everything neatly into shape, the context wanders this way and that, until finally the context isn't even there anymore... warm with life, hopeless unstable.

Just because you’ve only been alive for fifteen years doesn’t mean you’re less anything except old. that’s all it means. it doesn’t mean you’re less experienced. it doesn’t mean you’re less intelligent. it doesn’t mean you’re less sensitive. it doesn’t mean you take things less seriously. it’s like, these are younger human beings, meaning don’t, because they’re only ten, start thinking that they don’t know what you’re talking about -because they do. don’t leave people out in the cold, and don’t talk down to people -don’t. it never works out.

I also made it quite clear that socialism means equality of income or nothing, and that under socialism you would not be allowed to be poor. you would be forcibly feed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you like it or not. if it were discovered that you had not character enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but whilst you were permitted to live you would have to live well.
Character Mean Equality

If we have a chance of succeeding and bringing stability and democracy to iraq, it will mean learning from our mistakes, not denying them and not ignoring them.
