    Extractions: Time “Time is a major component of the novel. I rate it at the same value as story and character. I can think of few novelists who really know, and instinctively know, their craft who do not put time to dramatic use.” Elizabeth Bowen “Time pins the reader to that immense 'Now' which is so important if we are to have a feeling of concern and reality with the novel. The good story is a succession of effective Nows—call them scenes, if you like—and those Nows are link together by intermediate action. We may move backwards and forwards, but the present moment must grip and hold us, so that while we read it is as important—more important—as the moment in the room where we are in our chair.” Elizabeth Bowen “The novelist, to a certain extent, opens and shuts time like a fan as he goes along—and this is important because every story demands (because of its proportion) some particular sort of timing of its own. There must be an allotment, a proportioning of time: timing gives emphasis, as you will understand. The few moments in which we may stop and stare at some face passing at the other side of the street, or the moments in which our eyes will dwell on some particular line of print in a newspaper. . . . All that demarcates that something important, though maybe only important to us, is occurring.” Elizabeth Bowen “I would suggest that one reason why some novels, not bad—often making a good opening or a good start—lose their hold on us, is that as plot goes on we feel the author loosing his or her grip on actuality. There is a sort of slurring and we become impatient; we look back; we say 'Yes, but is this happening on a Tuesday or a Thursday?' We feel that the focus in which time should be has been lost.” Elizabeth Bowen

    Extractions: Madison Smartt Bell Author of "Action de Grace" Complex and powerful describe the essay "Action de Grace." This is also how Madison Smartt Bell describes Haiti and the process of writing about it. The piece has a long and complicated history and one that Bell could not have predicted when he began this work. During his first trip to Haiti he was to do research for a piece of fiction. That was 10 years ago. At that time, he sought a journalistic assignment that would "protect my life and pay my expenses." A magazine called Swing, one that he had never seen nor read, gave him a contract. The editors ultimately "canned it" and the Hudson Review later published it. His next assignment was for The New Yorker. Bill Buford was the new fiction editor and wanted a literary novelist to visit different cultures and write about the experience. As a result of this contract, Bell visited Haiti three more times. By the end of his third trip he had amassed hundreds of pages of text that posed several problems: whether or not he should make himself a character; how to manage the massive amount of cultural and anthropological information that he thought necessary as context; how to face the fact that what he was actually doing was creative nonfiction.

    Extractions: RENAISSANCE MAN Madison Smartt Bell is a writer of gritty urban realism and pitch-perfect evocations of historical Haiti. He's also the director of the creative writing center at Baltimore's Goucher College. He has even dabbled in film, recently adapting his novel Doctor Sleep for the big screen. (It will be released in the United States in April as Hypnotic .) Now it looks as if he may have found his way into the music world. Photograph by Abigail Seymour It all began when Bell, a guitar player for many years, was still at work on his novel Anything Goes , which was published in June 2002. Anything Goes is a coming-of-age story set mostly in a series of dive bars up and down the Atlantic coast, and its narrator, Jesse, finds in music a way through the paralysis of adolescence, and starts writing songs.

    Extractions: Focusing on the big picture as well as the crucial details, Bell examines twelve stories by both established writers (including Peter Taylor, Mary Gaitskill, and Carolyn Chute) and his own former students. A story's use of time, plot, character, and other elements of fiction are analyzed, and readers are challenged to see each story's flaws and strengths. Careful endnotes bring attention to the ways in which various writers use language. Bell urges writers to develop the habit of thinking about form and finding the form that best suits their subject matter and style. His direct and practical advice allows writers to find their own voice and imagination.

    Extractions: This directory is an index of indexes. It contains pointers to individual author guides or other cumulative documents that deal with specific writers. Admittedly, most of these authors are "literary." I have not included many authors from genres such as science fiction or romance. I think other sources do a better job of that than I can. As with everything on the Web, many of these guides are ephemeral; they disappear from the Web almost as soon as they appear.

    Extractions: Special to The Seattle Times Elvis Costello once said that writing about music is like "dancing about architecture, it's a really stupid thing to want to do." With "Anything Goes," Madison Smartt Bell joins the ranks of Salman Rushdie and Don DeLillo — accomplished authors who've written rock 'n' roll novels that seem like a really stupid thing to want to do. Bell is best known for his successful trilogy of historical novels set in Haiti, but he started his career in the 1980s with pop-culture-saturated fiction about lost young men. This is his 13th book, and he's returned to the sweet confusion of youth. "Anything Goes" Pantheon, $24 Jesse Melungeon, the narrator, is a 20-year-old bass guitarist with a bar band that covers the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers. His bandmates are stock characters: the rogue lead guitarist, the stoic black guy, the worldly older woman and the wizened leader who holds it all together. Oh, and there's the dark stranger who appears when a Guitar God is needed.

    Extractions: Madison Smartt Bell '79, prolific author and professor, finds himself a literary mentor to his students By Stephanie Shapiro Slightly rumpled and munching vitamin-C tablets to nurse a cold, Madison Smartt Bell '79 meets with a student in his office at Goucher College in suburban Baltimore. He's quite pleased with her story, and he's pleased that she's there. Bell fears he had once been too demanding. She slipped away temporarily, but has returned with a flurry of sharply-drawn tales. Editing line by line, Bell, a laconic man, makes a few suggestions, and lauds the way the story "turns on unusual conceits." Then, he advises her to submit it to Harper's magazine. She laughs, astounded, but he's adamant. "Send it out!" he says. It is one of those mentoring moments that Bell, a prolific author himself, who shares the Goucher Chair for Distinguished Achievement with his wife, poet Elizabeth Spires, has become known for in the literary world. If he likes a student's work, Bell brings to bear his connections and deep knowledge of New York's publishing culture to get it published.
