How Junot Diaz, Kazuo Ishiguro and Orhan Pamuk Write

92y:

(via anin)

Mr. Pamuk writes by hand, in graph-paper notebooks, filling a page with prose and leaving the adjacent page blank for revisions, which he inserts with dialogue-like balloons. He sends his notebooks to a speed typist who returns them as typed manuscripts; then he marks the pages up and sends them back to be retyped. The cycle continues three or four times.

Pamuk makes his first appearance at 92Y tonight.
