The Flame: Notes on the Writer's Art Cohan, Tony
Los Angeles Acrobat Books 1983 0-918226-10-4 / 9780918226105 Stated 1st Edition Soft Cover Near Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
63 pages. Acrobat Books, Los Angeles, 1983. Stated 1st edition. Soft cover. From the Introduction: "[While writing his first novel]...I found myself becoming more and more fascinated with the act, the art of what I was doing, the pure event of writing itself. I began drifting beyond the concerns of my story, beyond the voices of the character, and speaking in a voice quite unmistakably my own. The subject was writing itself, myself, the event of being here, this moment. It was as if a prospector, seeking a vein of gold, had suddenly discovered it all around his feet. These writings came out in short bursts, day after day, for about a month, crowding out the book. During that period I was quite elated...To me they represented a breaking out into a spontaneous prose, devoid of dramatic concern, more resembling music. It was not the prose itself as an object of particular attention, but the force of being that animated it, that fascinated me...The writing ended with the return of the idea of the flame, which had occurred in the fisrst piece. And with that, feeling much lighter, I returned to my 'book.'" Book is in Near Fine condition - some light discoloration on covers. Gift wrap and gift card available.
