Andre Dubus' "Letter to a Writers' Workshop"



"We can't make them perfectly, only as best we can. Hemingway once said that he had very little natural talent and what people called his style was simply his effort to overcome his lack of talent. Don't take it lightly. What is art if not a concentrated and impassioned effort to make something with the little we have, the little we see?"
