At a Wilkes University evening event, {{NM}} read from his October 1992 article in &#039;&#039;New Republic&#039;&#039; ([[92.10]]) on the Republican Party’s convention. In it, he praises Barbara Bush as the Queen of America, but with a common touch. He then discussed the AIDS issue debated at the convention: “People with HIV have not entered some alienated state of being, they are human.” At the end of the evening, he spoke of the difficulties of novel-writing. “It is very hard to write a truly good novel. It’s one of the most difficult acts known to mankind.” To succeed, he continued, a writer needs two key elements, luck and character. Recalling, no doubt, his devastation when his second novel, &#039;&#039;Barbary Shore&#039;&#039; ([[51.1]]) was lambasted by reviewers, he said, “Character is terribly important to recover from disappointment.”<br /> <br /> {{1980s|state=collapsed}}<br /> {{1990s|state=expanded}}<br /> {{2000s|state=collapsed}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Works]]<br /> [[Category:Works in the 1990s]]<br /> [[Category:Works in 1992]]<br /> [[Category:Article-Interviews]]</div>
