Arthur Bradford Citas

• Siempre me han gustado los escritores clásicos de "jóvenes adultos" como Mark Twain, Jack London, Roald Dahl, Charles Dickens. Escriben con mucha claridad y saben cómo entretener.

• Some of the stories in Dogwalker were written as long as four years ago, but I wouldn't say I've been working on this collection for four years. I have always been a little unsure of whether I could make it as a writer so I've held other jobs and worked on other projects this whole time.

• I make films about people with disabilities as well and I think this question is more relevant in regards to these documentaries where the actual person appears on film. I know these people are proud of who they are and what they are doing with their lives.

• Dogwalker is a book of fiction, with characters based on the types of people who truly exist in the world. I've seen them and know them - some of them I know really well. Although the stories are sometimes gritty and unsettling, my hope is that in the end they hit a positive note.

• No soy muy disciplinado. Tiendo a escribir tarde por la noche porque me distraigo durante el día.

• Escribo la mayoría de mis primeros borradores en una vieja máquina de escribir manual, una muy vieja. Es una gran "Woodstock" de metal negro de alrededor de 1920. Intento escribirlo todo a la vez, de una sentada. Los relatos más largos de esta colección están divididos en secciones. Cada sección representa una sesión diferente, una idea diferente para la misma historia.

• Tengo muchas historias que no llegan a pasar al ordenador. Cuando lo paso al ordenador, hago algunos cambios y a menudo añado algunas frases aquí y allá. Me gusta la máquina de escribir para los primeros borradores porque no puedes cambiar nada de inmediato, sólo tienes que escribirlo todo.

• Nunca me propuse investigar ninguna de estas historias. Intento llevar una vida interesante. Supongo que lo más cerca que estuve de la investigación fue cuando solicité trabajar en la institución mental estatal de Austin, Texas. Quería trabajar en el turno de noche, como Ken Kesey cuando escribió One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Pensé que eso podría inspirarme para escribir un libro tan genial.

• I'm just a dog person. I love dogs very much, especially big ones, hounds, and retrievers. I think they are funny and often have good senses of humor. Plus, they give unconditional love.

• I'm interested in other animals too though. There's the slug in "Mollusks", and I wrote a story about bees and one about a cat which got thrown out a window by mistake, but those never made it into the collection.

• I've worked in several different places, most of my experience comes from spending eight summers at a camp for adults with a wide range of disabilities. For six years I spent every summer living in a small cabin with five men with Downes Syndrome. It was just me and these five guys, all in their forties and fifties. We had such a great time.

• I wanted to do a collection where the narrator is constant throughout, so that there's a little unity.

• El primer relato que escribí fue "Cara de gato", que más tarde fue seleccionado para The O. Henry Collection, así que eso me dio algo de confianza para probar con más. Reunir todas estas historias fue divertido, pero al leerlas me di cuenta de que tengo ciertas preocupaciones mentales que se repiten en mis relatos.

• Sometimes the autobiographical link in each story is very literal, like I did work at The Texas School for the Blind, and I did once lose a mattress out of the back of a friend's truck.

• I chose the title Dogwalker because that describes me pretty well. I spend a lot of time walking around with my dogs. I'd say the narrator is me in an alternate universe.

• I'd just like to point out that almost all of these stories in this collection were rejected by some publication at one time or another, some of them have been rejected a lot, in fact. Find people you trust and listen to them.
