A Review of Gordon Lish's Dear Mr. Capote |
|
What elements make up this madman's life? Does it matter that just hearing the name of Buddy Brown makes him feel sweaty? That the words pica and inch feel sweaty too? That the name Barbara Luddy makes him think brown eyes? That Ann Shepherd was really Scheindel Kadish who played Hope Evans on Big Sister and who also played Pearl Taggart on Our Gal Sunday? That Bill Lido has "great hair"? Or that Bill Lido was the voice behind, This is radio for all America, the Mutual Broadcasting System? Or what about Ben Bernie saying "Yowsah, yowsah, yowsah"? Words. All of them words. And with them, fascination. |
