THE DRIVE TO WRITE iii Acknowledgments First and foremost, I am exceedingly grateful to the authors who participated in this study for offering me a glimpse into their writing processes and inner lives. Thank you to Richard Russo, Christopher Paolini, Tova Mirvis, Jonathan Lethem, and Mary Doria Russell. Your authenticity, openness, and insight inspired and sustained me. Thank you to my advisor, Ted Ellenhorn, and my committee, Barbara Belcher-Timme and Daniel Greif, for patiently awaiting the final product. You encouraged but didn’t pressure me, which is exactly what I needed at this phase in my life and academic career. Thank you as well to my father for your support, enthusiasm, and helpful edits. I never would have found myself exploring this topic if I hadn’t grown up with your infectious love of reading and writing. You first introduced to me the notion that we live in and by story. I cannot fully express how grateful I am for my mother’s support. When I was excited about an idea or avenue this dissertation was headed you mirrored my excitement and offered invaluable insight. When I was stuck, you helped me find my way out and were always there to bounce ideas off of. You spent hours helping edit my drafts. I am infinitely thankful to have a mother who is a friend and intellectual companion. While I worked on this dissertation I had two babies and moved twice. I completed my doctoral coursework, an advanced practicum, an internship, and a post-doctoral fellowship. Thank you to my family for bearing with me. Thank you to Aaron for your unceasing patience and for always supporting me in following my passion. It was validating to see that my love of this topic inspired you to start reading fiction! Jonathan Lethem said in our interview, “There’s this sort of fantasy that some day you’ll clear everything out and be only writing. But I think the urge to complicate that accompanies the fact that you usually need to complicate that or THE DRIVE TO WRITE iv modulate that in some way, that actually it has to be balanced against other things.” To my two beautiful, hilarious, sweet children, who offer me that modulation and always remind me of what is truly important in life. Love you to the moon and back.

While ample research has provided evidence for the mental and physical health benefits of writing (e.g., Pennebaker & Seagal, 1999), few studies have methodically examined the inner life of the fiction writer. This study explored two primary questions: (a) Why do authors write? and (b) How does the act of writing affect them in turn? This study employed Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) as a guiding methodology. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five authors of fiction, then transcribed and analyzed to generate a rich interpretative account. The motivations for writing fiction were found to be complex and multifaceted and the impact often subtle, but profound. Authors both forget and find themselves in the task of writing. They temporarily leave behind their everyday lives as they become absorbed in the task

  • Jonathan Lethem
    Jonathan Lethem Jonathan Allen Lethem wurde 1964 in Brooklyn, New York, geboren. Der Autor zahlreicher Romane, Essays und Kurzgeschichten entwickelte schon in jungen Jahren ein Interesse an Literatur. Vor allem das Lesen von Science Fiction prägte ihn dauerhaft. Nach Abbruch eines Kunststudiums in Vermont zog er 1984 nach Kalifornien, wo er sich mit Jobs in Buchläden über Wasser hielt. Sein erster Roman, Gun, with Occasional Music, wurde 1994 veröffentlicht. Der Verkauf der Verfilmungsrechte des Romans ermöglichte Lethem, seine Arbeit in den Buchläden aufzugeben und sich ganz dem Schreiben zu widmen. In den 1990er Jahren veröffentlichte er weitere Romane sowie einen Band mit Kurzgeschichten. 1996 zog Lethem zurück in seine Heimatstadt Brooklyn. 1999 veröffentlichte er mit Motherless Brooklyn einen Roman, der zum Bestseller avancierte, zahlreiche Preise erhielt und Lethem zum Durchbruch bei der Kritik verhalf. 2009 folgte mit Chronic City ein weiterer Stadtroman, den die New York Times auf die Liste der zehn besten Werke des Jahres stellte. Derzeit lebt Lethem mit seiner Familie in Brooklyn und Berwick, Maine. Seit 2011 unterrichtet er als Nachfolger von David Foster Wallace Kreatives Schreiben am Pomona College in Kalifornien.

  • Unbound: a Literary Series with BAM and Greenlight Bookstore Returns with Jonathan Lethem (Sep 10) and Richard Dawkins (Sep 23)
    Unbound: A Literary Series with BAM and Greenlight Bookstore returns with Jonathan Lethem (Sep 10) and Richard Dawkins (Sep 23) Brooklyn, NY/June 13, 2013—Unbound: A Literary Series with BAM and Greenlight Bookstore returns for a second season of unique talks. Building on the success of the first season, this year Unbound presents two highly anticipated book launches by contemporary authors. Greenlight Bookstore co-owner Jessica Stockton Bagnulo said, “Greenlight is excited about the continuing development of the Unbound series, a great collaborative project with our partners at BAM. With more star-studded book launch events happening this season, the series is becoming part of Brooklyn's— and New York's—literary fabric, and offers a great opportunity to reach Brooklyn's —and BAM's—sophisticated cultural audiences. We can't wait to see what comes next!” BAM Vice President of Education & Humanities Stephanie Hughley adds, “Unbound has been a remarkable addition to our humanities programs at BAM and we’re thrilled to continue our collaboration with Greenlight Bookstore on the series this year. Unbound reflects BAM’s commitment to creative dialogue and connects audiences to the rich contributions of our literary community.” Jonathan Lethem (Sep 10), American author of The New York Times bestseller The Fortress of Solitude, returns to his native Brooklyn for the launch of his latest work, Dissident Gardens. Spanning several decades—from parlor communism of the 1930s up to the current Occupy Movement—Dissident Gardens is both an epic and a family saga tracing the legacy of communism in America through three generations of radicals.

ALIVE AND HUMAN: SITUATING WALLACE, LETHEM, AND RUSSELL IN CONTEMPORARY FICTION Carissa Kampmeier 107 Pages May 2015 This project will attempt to provide an outline of some of the most salient constructions of present-day literary fiction, where those constructions might overlap or conflict, and how various contemporary authors and their works might usefully fit within those constructions. This project will argue that fiction-writers following postmodernism are presented with a unique problem of how to write fiction in a way that acknowledges the problems of using language as a primary meaning-making structure without falling down a linguistic rabbit hole where a text ceases to be about anything other than itself. Beginning with David Foster Wallace, this project will focus on the ways that fiction writers Jonathan Lethem and Karen Russell are still aware of this problem and struggling to work through it, with Wallace’s work serving as a kind of bridge between the postmodern and the contemporary.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 45th TELLURIDE FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES 2018 GUEST DIRECTOR JONATHAN LETHEM June 15, 2018 BERKELEY, CA – Telluride Film Festival, presented by National Film Preserve LTD., is proud to announce its 2018 Guest Director, Jonathan Lethem. The award-winning novelist, essayist and short story writer is set to select a series of films to present at the 45th Telluride Film Festival running over Labor Day Weekend, August 31 - September 3, 2018. Festival organizers annually select one of the world’s groundbreaking artists to join them in the creation of the Festival’s program lineup. The Guest Director serves as a key collaborator in the Festival’s programming decisions, bringing new ideas and overlooked films to Telluride. In keeping with Telluride Film Festival tradition, Lethem’s film selections, along with the rest of the Telluride lineup, will be kept secret until Opening Day. “Tom and I first met Jonathan through Criterion Collection,” said Telluride Film Festival executive director Julie Huntsinger. “Since then, we have forever been impressed with his knowledge of and enthusiasm for cinema. We are thrilled to have him join us for the 2018 Festival!” One of America’s greatest contemporary writers, Jonathan Lethem was born in 1964 in Brooklyn, NYC to artist Richard Lethem and late political activist Judith Lethem. His impressive body of work spans 10 novels, five short story collections, a novella, two books of essays, a comic series and writings in The New Yorker, Rolling Stone and McSweeny’s.

  • Jonathan Lethem on the Rich Lives of Jaime Clarke's Minor Literary
    VIA ROUNDABOUT PRESS Jonathan Lethem on the Rich Lives of Jaime Clarke’s Minor Literary Characters “He has done more, even, than Vonnegut in setting his characters free.” By Jonathan Lethem April 14, 2021 Where did it start, for you? Maybe it was when J. D. Salinger’s fiction revealed the intertwining of the fates of the siblings of Holden Caulfield, from The Catcher in the Rye , and that of the Glass family from Seymour: An Introduction and others of his fictions (if I recall correctly, Holden’s brother, killed in World War II, was earlier a contestant on the same juvenile game show as Seymour Glass). Maybe it was when Kurt Vonnegut wandered into Breakfast of Champion s, a book that was a compendium of characters both minor and major from his earlier novels, including Vonnegut’s fictional neglected science fiction author Kilgore Trout. Trout was an obvious transposition of the real neglected science fiction author Theodore Sturgeon, whose unlikely name was nevertheless authentic, and who’d been a friendly acquaintance of Vonnegut’s several years before. Bizarrely and wonderfully, Kilgore Trout was also credited with authorship of a mysterious satirical science fiction novel that appeared in 1975, two years after Breakfast of Champions , a book called Venus on the Half-Shell , which turned out to be written by another science fiction writer named Philip José Farmer. Or maybe this kind of thing reminds you of Borges, who wrote stories featuring characters who’d wandered in from other authors’ writings (for instance, Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver, from the travels, appears to have narrated “Brodie’s Report”).

  • 2016 AWP Conference Schedule
    2016 AWP Conference Schedule Thursday, March 31, 2016 12:00 pm to 1:15 pm R198. Writers Editing Writers Room 515 B, LA Convention Center, Meeting Room Level ( Brigid Hughes, April Wolfe, Yiyun Li, John Haskell, Vanessa Hutchinson) Editing is perhaps one of the least glamorous but most necessary aspects of the writing process, and an author’s relationship with their editor is one of the most valuable ones they can cultivate. This panel brings together two A Public Space Emerging Writer Fellows to discuss their own processes with their respective mentors, both established authors and A Public Space contributors. 1:30 pm to 2:45 pm R203. The Literary Genius of Kendrick Lamar Diamond Salon 6&7, JW Marriott LA, 3rd Floor (Rion Scott, Mensah Demary, Nathaniel Marshall, Kiese Laymon, Natalie Graham) Hip-hop and literature have always intersected, but the genres find an even greater connection in the work of Compton, California’s Kendrick Lamar, who has released three albums that rival the greatest works of fiction and creative nonfiction in depth of theme, imagery, and storytelling complexity. In this panel, writers influenced by Lamar's work discuss what writers can learn about storytelling from the rapper's albums, which are novelistic in both scope and structure. 3:00 pm to 4:15 pm R243. The Changing Face(s) of Publishing Room 403 A, LA Convention Center, Meeting Room Level (Jane Friedman, Erin Belieu, Daniel José Older, Roberto Tejada, Kevin Prufer) Digital innovation, the VIDA count, #WeNeedDiverseBooks, a seeming explosion of translations—the face of publishing, tools for publishing, and reasons for being a publisher are all changing at a disorienting speed.

  • A Conversation with Jonathan Lethem
    The Lost Language of Belief: A Conversation with Jonathan Lethem Ed. Silvia Albertazzi There is a touch of shyness in Jonathan Lethem’s gaze, a gentleness in his manner, that puts his interlocutor immediately at ease. The impression you get reading his works is confirmed when he first addresses you: he is one of us, an individual who, as he wrote in the last essay of his collection The Disappointment Artist, believes that works of art can be “better than life, that they [can] redeem life”. In his universe of rock music, jazz, old films, cartoons, omnivorous reading and all kinds of fiction – from Dickens to P.K. Dick, from Kafka to the postmodern – you can always find something that speaks to and for you. Lethem’s writings are the kind of works that make you feel “you wish the author that wrote [them] was a great friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it”, in Salinger’s Holden Caufield’s words. I had the opportunity to meet him in June 2014 when he was teaching creative writing at the Florence campus of New York University. The Italian version of his new novel Dissident Gardens had just gone on sale. To the surprise of his fans, the author of such cult novels as Motherless Brooklyn, The Fortress of Solitude and Chronic City, all of them pivoting around characters who experience the difficulty – or the impossibility – of growing up and negotiating the metropolis alone, had published an apparently realistic saga. The book tells the story of three generations of American communists, from the Great Depression to the present day.
