You learn by living it. And you don\u2019t live it alone &#8230; You live it with and by people\u2014yourself in your relation with people, with and by living things, yourself in your relation to living things.\u201d I wholeheartedly agree with MacLeish but have plenty of writer-friends who insist on separating themselves from the world around them, alone and misunderstood by everyone else. What\u2019s your take on the romantic notion of the artist in isolation? Is a Henry David Thoreau laughable in this day and age? \u2014Kate<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Of course writers need solitude\u2014that\u2019s where the writing happens\u2014but I\u2019m with MacLeish: if you\u2019re going to have anything worth saying, you\u2019d better start by taking an interest in other people. That means living among them; sexting doesn\u2019t count. The two big dangers for contemporary fiction, it seems to me, are people not reading enough and people not hanging out enough. These dangers were unimaginable in Thoreau\u2019s time. His solitude is full of remembered texts and remembered conversations. His clean slate is a palimpsest. But to spend your days alone <em>and online<\/em> isn\u2019t just bad training, it also makes for lousy material.<\/p>\n<p><em>So, I\u2019m curious\u2014what was the last book that made you cry?<\/em><br \/><em> Lily<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I got prickly-eyed last night over a history book, of all things, by our sports correspondent Louisa Thomas. In <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Conscience-Soldiers-Pacifists-Family-Faith\/dp\/159420294X\">Conscience<\/a><\/em>, Thomas writes about her great grandfather and great uncles, minister\u2019s sons who wrestled with the question of whether to fight in World War I. (The most famous of these brothers, Norman Thomas, later became a hero of the Socialist party.) The moral seriousness of Norman and his brother Evan, in their letters and speeches, is wonderful, at times even preposterous\u2014and those are exactly the moments that get me.<\/p>\n<p>But if you mean crying like boo-hoo, and if you don\u2019t count <em>King Lear<\/em> (which came to town last month with Derek Jacobi), I think it may have been rereading <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Mrs-Bridge-Evan-S-Connell\/dp\/1582435685\/\">Mrs. Bridge<\/a><\/em>.
