Michael Chabon: Deatheater
Michael Chabon has a great Op-Ed in today's New York Times: "I started to write because once it had been nourished, stoked and liberated by those secret confederates, I could not hold back the force of my imagination. I had been freed, and I felt that it was now up to me to do the same for somebody else, somewhere, trapped in his or her own lonely tower."Chabon makes great points on the need teens have to purge themselves of the demons within through art and the redemptive qualities of creative expression.
For the record, David Foster Wallace's "The Girl with Curious Hair," the story that kicked off all this hooey, is one of the better pieces of short fiction I've ever read.
