Subscribe to Quotomania on quotomania.com or search for Quotomania on your favorite podcast app!</p> <p><br></p> <p>Poet, essayist, novelist, and playwright, Tess Gallagher was born on July 21, 1943 in Port Angeles, Washington. She received a BA and MA from the University of Washington, where she studied creative writing with Theodore Roethke, and a MFA from the University of Iowa. Her first collection of poems, <em>Instructions to the Double</em>, won the 1976 Elliston Book Award for "best book of poetry published by a small press". In 1984, she published the collection <em>Willingly</em>, which consists of poems written to and about her third husband, author Raymond Carver, who died in 1988. Other collections include <em>Dear Ghosts</em> (Graywolf Press, 2006); <em>My Black Horse: New and Selected Poems</em> (1995); <em>Owl-Spirit Dwelling</em> (1994) and <em>Moon Crossing Bridge</em> (1992).</p> <p>Her honors include a fellowship from the Guggenheim Foundation, two National Endowment of the Arts Awards, and the Maxine Cushing Gray Foundation Award.She has taught at St. Lawrence University, Kirkland College, the University of Montana in Missoula, the University of Arizona in Tucson, Syracuse University, and Willamette University, Bucknell University, and Whitman College.</p> <p>From <a href="https://poets.org/poet/tess-gallagher"><u>https://poets.org/poet/tess-gallagher</u></a>.</p> <p>Raymond Carver was born in Clatskanie, Oregon, in 1938. His first short stories appeared in <em>Esquire</em> during Gordon Lish's tenure as fiction editor in the 1970s. Carver's work began to reach a wider audience with the 1976 publication of <em>Will You Please be Quiet, Please</em>, but it was not until the 1981 publication of <em>What We Talk About When We Talk About Love </em>under Gordon Lish, then at Knopf, that he began to achieve real literary fame. This collection was edited by more than 40 per cent before publication, and Carver dedicated it to his fellow writer and future wife, Tess Gallagher, with the promise that he would one day republish his stories at full length. He went on to write two more collections of stories, <em>Cathedral</em> and <em>Elephant, </em>which moved away from the earlier minimalist style into a new expansiveness, as well as several collections of poetry. He died in 1988, aged fifty.</p> <p>From <a href="https://www.penguin.co.uk/authors/183905/raymond-carver?tab=penguin-biography"><u>https://www.penguin.co.uk/authors/183905/raymond-carver?tab=penguin-biography</u></a>.</p> <p>For more information about Tess Gallagher and Raymond Carver:</p> <p><em>A New Path to the Waterfall</em>: <a href="https://groveatlantic.com/book/a-new-path-to-the-waterfall/"><u>https://groveatlantic.com/book/a-new-path-to-the-waterfall/</u></a></p> <p>“Tess Gallagher”: <a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/tess-gallagher"><u>https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/tess-gallagher</u></a></p> <p>“Raymond Carver”: <a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/raymond-carver"><u>https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/raymond-carver</u></a></p> <p>“Regarding Tess”: <a href="https://www.seattlemet.com/arts-and-culture/2009/01/0508-regardingtess"><u>https://www.seattlemet.com/arts-and-culture/2009/01/0508-regardingtess</u></a></p> <p>“Raymond Carver, The Art of Fiction No. 76”: <a href="https://www.theparisreview.org/interviews/3059/the-art-of-fiction-no-76-raymond-carver"><u>https://www.theparisreview.org/interviews/3059/the-art-of-fiction-no-76-raymond-carver</u></a></p> <p>“Raymond Carver: the kindest cut”: <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/2009/sep/27/raymond-carver-editor-influence"><u>https://www.theguardian.com/books/2009/sep/27/raymond-carver-editor-influence</u></a></p>

QUOTOMANIA 363: Marcel Proust

<p>Today’s Quotation is care of Marcel Proust. Listen in! Subscribe to Quotomania on quotomania.com or search for Quotomania on your favorite podcast app!</p> <p><br></p> <p>Marcel Proust was born on July 10, 1871 in the Paris suburb of Auteuil. His father, Dr. Adrien Proust, was one of France's most distinguished scientists. His mother, Jeanne Weil, was a well-educated woman who loved the great classic writers of the 17th century, especially Molière and Racine. Marcel's only sibling, Robert, was born in 1873. The hypersensitive Marcel suffered all his life from a number of ailments, especially asthma. Although he earned university degrees in philosophy and law, he always knew that he wanted to be a writer.</p> <p>In 1910, he had his bedroom lined with cork to block out the deafening noise of daytime Paris because he slept during the day and wrote through the night, after returning home from some of Paris's most exclusive salons. He was known as the city's most famous recluse, he even called himself an owl because he wrote while listening to his “nocturnal Muse.” <em>Swann’s Way</em>, the first volume of <em>In Search of Lost Time</em>, was published in November 1913 and was headed for a fourth printing when World War I broke out.</p> <p>Proust continued to write, incorporating the unprecedented conflict into his story of contemporary French society. In 1919, <em>Within a Budding Grove</em> was published and won the Prix Goncourt, France's most prestigious literary prize. The final three years of his life saw the publication of <em>The Guermantes Way</em> and <em>Sodom and Gomorrah</em>. <em>The Captive</em>, <em>The Fugitive</em>, and <em>Time Regained</em> were published posthumously. The novel's main themes are time and memory and the power of art to withstand the destructive forces of time.</p> <p>From <a href="https://www.proust-ink.com/biography"><u>https://www.proust-ink.com/biography</u></a>.</p> <p>For more information about Marcel Proust:</p> <p>Previously on The Quarantine Tapes:</p> <p>Sven Birkerts about Proust, at 18:00: <a href="https://quarantine-tapes.simplecast.com/episodes/the-quarantine-tapes-181-sven-bikerts"><u>https://quarantine-tapes.simplecast.com/episodes/the-quarantine-tapes-181-sven-bikerts</u></a></p> <p>Merve Emre about Proust, at 16:46: <a href="https://quarantine-tapes.simplecast.com/episodes/the-quarantine-tapes-170-merve-emre"><u>https://quarantine-tapes.simplecast.com/episodes/the-quarantine-tapes-170-merve-emre</u></a></p> <p><em>The Hare with Amber Eyes</em>: <a href="https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250811271/theharewithambereyes"><u>https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250811271/theharewithambereyes</u></a></p> <p><em>In Search of Lost Time</em>: <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/SLT/in-search-of-lost-time"><u>https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/SLT/in-search-of-lost-time</u></a></p> <p>“Reading Proust’s ‘In Search of Lost Time’ During a Pandemic”: <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2020/11/reading-proust-in-search-of-lost-time-during-pandemic/616850/"><u>https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2020/11/reading-proust-in-search-of-lost-time-during-pandemic/616850/</u></a></p> <p>“What We Find When We Get Lost in Proust”: <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/05/10/what-we-find-when-we-get-lost-in-proust"><u>https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/05/10/what-we-find-when-we-get-lost-in-proust</u></a></p>
