Browsing Quotes By Clyde Edgerton (Professor of English at UNC Wilmington)

Asked for advice from someone in high school who wanted to be a writer, he said, “Do not follow advice that doesn’t make sense. I work from experience, what I know, my imagination. I see a wall with fictional people on one side and real people on the other. While I’m writing, the fictional people reach through the wall and borrow from the real people.”

Speaker: Clyde Edgerton (Professor of English at UNC Wilmington)

There’s a howl in front of us, a terrible, terrible noise that I don’t want to hear: I can only just tell that it’s Laura’s voice, but I know that it is, and at that moment I want to go to her and offer to become a different person, to remove all trace of what is me, as long as she will let me look after her and try to make her feel better.
When we get out into the light, people crowd around Laura and Jo and Janet, and hug them; I want to do the same, but I don’t see how I can. But Laura sees Liz and me hovering on the fringe of the group, and comes to us, and thanks us for coming, and holds us both for a long time, and when she lets go of me I feel that I don’t need to offer to become a different person: it has happened already.
