While those less familiar with his gull body of work may think of Martin as primarily the "wild and crazy guy" with an arrow through his head, this book makes the case that he is in fact one of our nation's most accomplished and varied artists. It shows the full range of Martin's creative work, tracing the source of his comic imagination from his early standup days, starting in the mid- to late 1960s through the films he has written and starred in, and emphasizing his more recent creative outpourings as playwright, essayist, novelist, memoirist, songwriter, composer, musician, and art critic. "Standup is the hardest material in the world to writer for someone else; it's like trying to condense ten years of experience into twenty minutes of new material," Martin says. But commenting on his fiction writing, he says, "I think you have to be able to find as a writer that state where your don't know what you're going to say or what the character is going to say or who the characters are. That's the biggest thrill of all. When you start to trust that subconscious thing and you don't censor yourself--just remember you can always throw it away--that's when the good stuff comes out.""-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Martin, Steve, $d 1945- 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 20th century $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Musicians $z United States $y 20th century $v Interviews. 655 7 $a Interviews. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423832. 700 1 $a Kapsis, Robert E., $e editor. 830 0 $a Literary conversations series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20160331010818.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F52A9EE4F70511E582760BA0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
