    Extractions: About the Author: The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foundation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hardbound editions of important works of literature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoring as its emblem the running torch-bearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inaugurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices. This text refers to the hardcover edition of this title

    Extractions: Hilary Mantel's not-so-blithe spirits By Clea Simon Fludd by Hilary Mantel (Owl Books), 181 pages (paperback), $13. Fludd is not a pretty-looking name, and neither is the gentleman who bears it a likely hero. A supposed curate, and possible supernatural force, the quiet stranger who comes to town in the book that shares his moniker is, however, an agent of change. And as any reader of Hilary Mantel's fiction can guess from the onset, the transformations he brings about come with a spirit that belies appallingly grim conditions. In this short 1989 novel, one of the British author's eight that had not previously been published in this country, Fludd and his co-adventurers inhabit the fictional but realistically depressed village of Fetherhoughton in the industrial north of England in the year 1956. It's a tightly clamped world of dampened weather and precious little light, into which Fludd appears on a "particularly wet evening." And though our hero may be an alchemist he is named for the 17th-century physician, scholar, and alchemist Robert Fludd he does not perform his chemical magic with any great flashes of brilliance or conjure any sparks or sun. The Fetherhoughton that Fludd comes to, and ultimately transforms, is a sooty, dank place of perpetual twilight, bordered by moors and dying factories, hatred and frost. Which does not mean that our chemist/curate Fludd, or this book, is without humor. Here as in her other historical novels notably the superlative

First I read Fingersmith by Sarah Waters (Riverhead, $15) because several of the writers recommended the Booker nominee. Here is what Hilary Mantel said, "It takes a sophisticated and skilled narration to give a jaded reader her childhood back; …being 50 I was allowed to stay up reading till dawn." Well, I didn't stay up till dawn, but I read the longish novel in two days-off, deliciously, enjoying the twists and turns, savoring the homage to Dickens and Wilkie Collins, enjoying the female protagonists outwitting the wicked villains. Then I read Crow Lake by Mary Lawson, (Dell, $12.95). Penelope Lively said that this is "a remarkable, tense narrative of family tragedy in northern Ontario, (Lawson is) a name to watch."

33. Writing And Surviving In England
    But it is left to hilary mantel to make the case for excess “In theideal world, all published writers would be as rich as Croesus.  
    http://members.tripod.com/~warlight/GLAISTER.html
    
    Extractions: Writing and Surviving in England Dan Glaister ‘The classic urban pet scrounger puts together his wages from reviewing, creative writing, teaching, judging, readings, poems, grants, minicab driving and shoplifting’ Hugo Williams, poet. The image of the penniless writer struggling in a garret is a powerful and seductive one. But is it true? And is poverty a necessary spur to creativity? Fifty-two years ago Cyril Connolly attempted to answer these questions by asking his contemporaries. Now the exercise has been repeated, with a selection of today’s writers asked the same six questions. Their answers are revealed in The Cost of Letters , published on 1 May, 1998. The questions set by Connolly covered levels of income, the importance of subsidy, and ways of escaping the literary poverty trap. The nearest the two generations of writers come to a consensus is in answer to Connolly’s first question, “How much does a writer need to live on?” Nearly all agree that the answer should be, according to Julian Barnes, “The same as everyone else, that’s to say, anything from a monkish five thousand pounds p.a. to a well-healed professional’s one hundred thousand pounds”. But there are qualifications. In 1946 these included money for, as Dylan Thomas put it, “luxurious necessities”. “I want a lot, but whether I need what I want is another question,” he wrote. Today’s writers echo his artistry. “It depends on temperament, social expectation, drug use, number of children and so on,” writes Barnes. A L Kennedy points out the necessary, non-deductible expenses connected with the work, which might include “eye-catching frocks, designer jackets, cocaine and alcohol”. But it is left to Hilary Mantel to make the case for excess: “In the ideal world, all published writers would be as rich as Croesus. They could then indulge in dissipation and eccentricity on a scale the public has a right to expect”. Asked whether a “serious writer” could earn a living wage by writing, and if so, how, Connolly, and today’s questioners met a more varied response. “I am not sure I know any serious writers. I do not like to think how they earn their living,” writes Mantel.
