Vivian Gornick interviews NYPL writing lit history and literature culture and society thought and opinion
[Writing] is torture when the page is blank; it’s not torture once you’ve tormented yourself into words on the page – then it’s the deepest pleasure that you can have… There isn’t an ‘I love you’ in the world that can match what it feels like when you’re working well at the desk. Then you feel excited and peaceful and smart and stupid – everything under the sun that you wish to feel, and most of all at peace.

Absolutely fantastic conversation with writer and feminist icon Vivian Gornick from the New York Public Library’s free Books at Noon series, the recordings of which are among these 9 podcasts for a fuller life.

Complement with Dani Shapiro on the perils and pleasures of the writing life, then revisit Gornick on the inner light of creativity and how to own your story.
