|  My favorite short-story writer is John Cheever. | | I don't think that the writer is regarded as a freak by Americans. | | I never drink while I'm working, but after a few glasses I get ideas that would never have occurred to me dead sober. | | Ernest Hemingway did a great deal toward making the writer an acceptable public figure; obviously, he was no sissy. | | I am forced to say that I have many fiercer critics than myself. | | An absolutely necessary part of a writer's equipment, almost as necessary as talent, is the ability to stand up under punishment, both the punishment the world hands out and the punishment he inflicts upon himself. |
