Unbridled Books Barking at the Moon ** Recently Updated TEV DEFINED The Elegant Variation is "Fowler’s (1926, 1965) term for the inept writer’s overstrained efforts at freshness or vividness of expression. Prose guilty of elegant variation calls attention to itself and doesn’t permit its ideas to seem naturally clear. It typically seeks fancy new words for familiar things, and it scrambles for synonyms in order to avoid at all costs repeating a word, even though repetition might be the natural, normal thing to do: The audience had a certain bovine placidity, instead of The audience was as placid as cows. Elegant variation is often the rock, and a stereotype, a clich©, or a tired metaphor the hard place between which inexperienced or foolish writers come to grief. The familiar middle ground in treating these homely topics is almost always the safest. In untrained or unrestrained hands, a thesaurus can be dangerous."

George Plimpton "He probably thought that they wouldn't mind. After all, he was a writer, what did they expect?" interviewed by Ron Hogan George Plimpton is an author who needs no introduction. Even those who don't know him as one of the founding editors of the Paris Review and author of a series of books in which he participated in several sports at the professional level to report on what it felt like (the most famous being Paper Lion , his chronicle of life in a Detroit football training camp) will recognize him from his cameo appearances in films such as Reds . In his latest book, Plimpton returns to the oral biography format he popularized with American Journey: The Times of Robert F. Kennedy and Edie: An American Biography (both produced in collaboration with Jean Stein). When I suggested that the subject of Truman Capote (In Which Various Friends, Enemies, Acquaintances, and Detractors Recall His Turbulent Career) was particularly suited to the ambiguities and dishiness of the oral biography, having been known to distort the truth on occasion himself, Plimpton readily agreed, further pointing out that Capote "came from humble beginnings, rose meteorically to this tremendously high standing, not only socially but as a writer as well, then he made some almost Aristotelian errors of hubris that started his downfall." It's a great story made even more intriguing by the personal reflections of people ranging from Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal to Lauren Bacall, fashion designer Milan, and the late Herb Caen.
