’ if you are withdrawing. ‘The Waves’ or Faulkner if you haven’t slept in a few days. Mostly, don’t go north of 1950. Stay away from the Beatniks — they don’t know what the f— they’re talking about. And memoirs are whiny.”He’s trying to step clear of ‘A Million Little Pieces’ as he publicizes his novel.
Books, Sanchez argues, are as powerful as any controlled substance — just time-released jolts of information — and in their own way are just as radically simple: “There’s two parts: the white part and the black part. Read the black part.” Why do we have patience for this kind of man, his story, his special journey? Partly it’s because writing like this is a passport to a different country: different rules, different business hours, different food and horizons. It’s dark but awfully appealing. We run toward it, then slow for the crash, wondering who will die and how.
Facing a judge, the narrator pledges to stay clean. “I reached down to that bottommost part of my stomach, where I stored all my truest sentiments, where I held the things I meant and believed. … I did mean it, and I believed it, and I wanted nothing more than for it to be true.”
