English Majors Query Hortense Calisher On Problems Relating to Field of Writing
Hortense Calisher, a 32 year old short story writer, spoke at the 94 Conference in the College Parlor about writing. She said she began writing seriously eight years ago after three stories in The New Yorker and urged starting young but only when one has something to say. She described a short story as a globe with a central meaning approachable from all parts and a novel as broader and more detailed. She also noted she would not rewrite a piece to please editors and recalled editorials on rejection slips. She added that writers often find better work later.
