Jean Craighead George, on writing:

 

To be a writer you should read, write and talk to people, hear their knowledge, hear their problems.

Be a good listener.
The rest will come.
- Jean Craighead George.

The value of reading and the power of imagination:

That moment when you're reading a book and the whole world around you doesn't exist anymore.

Pulp

Description:
 
“Poet laureate of the down-and-out.” – LA Times.
 

Opening with the exotic Lady Death entering the gumshoe-writer's seedy office in pursuit of a writer named Cèline, this novel demonstrates Charles Bukowski's own brand of humor and realism, opening up a landscape of seamy Los Angeles.

 

Pulp is essential fiction from Buk himself.
 

Nicky Belane, private detective and career alcoholic, is a troubled man. He is plagued not just by broads, booze, lack of cash and a raging ego, but also by the surreal jobs he’s hired to do. Not only does he have to track down French classical author Cèline – who’s meant to be dead – but he also supposed to find the elusive Red Sparrow – which may or may not be real.

 

Pulp is Charles Bukowski’s brilliant, fantastical pastiche of a detective story.
 

Packed with wit, invention and Bukowski’s trademark lowlife adventures, it is the final novel by one of the most enjoyable and influential cult writers of the last century.
