A bit better this morning, hanging in and all that.
Reading more of the Yates bio I see another drinking buddy of his was Bob Lacy, my novel-writing teacher in grad school in the 60s. Lots of familiar names in this book, including folks I know or have met. But the book is still a downer, by and large. Truth can be a downer.
"The struggle itself ... is enough to fill a man's heart." --Camus

The Deemer Interview
Charles Deemer teaches screenwriting at Portland State University. He is a playwright, novelist, screenwriter, and pioneer in hyperdrama. He was the editor of Oregon Literary Review and the artistic director of Small Screen Video.
