To write about the comanches in the great plains which is as far from connecticut as the frozen moons of jupiter. I will not bore you with the details of my past but to put it as briefly as possible i had my little epiphany in the spring of 1970. I had just been admitted to Princeton University and i was traveling there for a weekend where you see if you want to go there. It was a glorious day. Kind of like this morning actually. The spring was in full bloom per full bloom. I had taken a train and the last leg was on a smaller train which was the princeton to Princeton Junction that took the right to the campus. On the trip, i happened to be reading a book by f. Scott fitzgerald called this side of paradise. It was about life in princeton. At the time, it was absolutely magical. I happened to finish it as the train was pulling into the station. It is cute as a button. I was finishing it just as the train old in and i walked out and up onto the campus and i walked by 12 University Place
Day in may. Just like this morning and the spring was in full bloom. I had taken a train and the last leg was on a smaller train which was the princeton to Princeton Junction that took the right to the campus. I happen to be reading of book by f. Scott fitzgerald called this side of paradise. About life there princeton in it is absolutely a magical book for me. I cannot even read two smell. Cannot read even two paragraphs now. But at the time it was magical i finished it just as the train pulled into the station. Princeton is as cute as a button. Finishing just as the train pulls then and i walk up to the campus and i remember thinking there is absolutely nothing in the world that i would rather do than to write like scott fitzgerald. It was all downhill from there. For the next 15 years i wrote a bunch of fiction and publish some of it, got a graduate fellowship call mom fellowship, but none of what i did was much good unfortunately. Not great stuff. I worked, i had jobs was a banker
