\"\"<\/a>Okay, I have a question about the ideal sort of job for a young writer. If not ideal, then certainly better. I am a gallery manager in Manhattan. It is an exhausting, constantly detail-oriented job that does not pay especially well. Work frustrations and a first novel that is still in progress but progressing despite the less than ideal amount of time I can devote. I am wondering whether I should quit this \u201ccareer\u201d and become a bartender. I would have more hours to write, and my hands wouldn\u2019t be typing for eleven to twelve hours a day. So what jobs do you recommend?<\/em><\/p>\n

You mention bartending. I\u2019ve known several writer-bartenders over the years. The job, they tell me, comes with perils of its own. In the good old days, the easiest thing was to get a gig proofreading at night for some giant consultancy or law firm (like the title character of Mary Gaitskill\u2019s Veronica<\/a><\/em>). The pay was good, and when you punched out, you punched out. Those jobs are hard to find now (proofreading\u2019s the first thing to go), but since you\u2019re in New York, it\u2019s worth signing up with a temp agency. I temped once, for a business-to-business advertising firm, and on my very first afternoon found myself writing slogans for a revolutionary new water-efficient toilet. At least, I tried. (It was also my last afternoon.)<\/p>\n

I have always thought dog walking would be a good job for a writer, if you\u2019re the sort of person who thinks while you walk. But perhaps one of our readers will have a better suggestion … or a position to fill?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m enjoying <\/em>The Way of All Flesh<\/a>. Can you suggest some novels about social climbing by cultural or racial outsiders?<\/em><\/p>\n

If Ernest Pontifex counts as a cultural outsider\u2014or a social climber\u2014then who among us is safe from either charge? Not Becky Sharpe, in Vanity Fair<\/a><\/em>, or Lucien de Rubempr\u00e9, in Lost Illusions<\/a><\/em>. And certainly not Georges Duroy, the gutter-bred antihero of Bel Ami<\/a><\/em>, or David Copperfield or Gatsby or Tim Ripley or\u2014to choose a more recent example\u2014slick Nick Guest in The Line of Beauty<\/a><\/em>. But neither, I suppose, is Lucy, the title character of Jamaica Kincaid\u2019s first novel<\/a>, an Antiguan making her way in New York, or Pronek, the immigrant hero of Aleksandar Hemon\u2019s Nowhere Man<\/a><\/em>, lost in Chicago. After all, if you\u2019re not from around here, there is a fine line between climbing and getting by. (Is Ellison\u2019s Invisible Man<\/a><\/em> a climber?) Leonard Bast tries to better himself, disastrously enough, in Howard\u2019s End<\/em>, and who can blame him? Creepy Jasper Milvain does a much better job in New Grub Street.<\/em> The black shipbuilder Bob Jones doesn\u2019t climb, exactly\u2014but he gets promoted, and all hell breaks loose among his white coworkers, whom he secretly loathes\u2014in Chester Himes\u2019s If He Hollers Let Him Go<\/a><\/em>. There is always, of course, Augie March<\/a><\/em>, taking goyish America by storm. And\u2014my own favorite\u2014the reckless, charming Irish hero of Phineas Finn<\/a> <\/em>and Phineas Redux<\/a><\/em>, cutting a swathe through Disraeli-era London. Speaking of outsiders who make it. <\/p>\n

I edit others with skill. How can I learn to better edit myself? \u2014Kathleen R. Kimble, Missoula, Montana<\/em><\/p>\n

Ms. Kimble, you are in luck. There is an excellent book on this very subject: The Artful Edit: On the Practice of Editing Yourself<\/a><\/em>, by Susan Bell. If you\u2019lve already had practice as an editor, you\u2019ll find Bell\u2019ls advice that much more persuasive and\u2014let\u2019s hope!\u2014easy to follow.<\/p>\n
