12 or 20 kevins

“But good and bad are terms I pretty much grew out of once I moved to San Francisco, the birthplace of the provisional and the contingent.” “I think it was 1991 when I realized that the writer has no role in the larger culture. Succeeding developments have only hardened this condition, but it is still something of a surprise, rather like the man who can’t remember he has now only one hand.” “I lack discipline and yet, I don’t believe in it much.”
