From "School Days": "Don't be silly. It's always lonesome at first. You're away from home and meeting all new people. Just because bright clean boys are in fraternities and sweet lovely girls are in sororities, it doesn't mean a thing. They're lonely too. Maybe even more lonely. Clean haircuts, nice clothes and white teeth doesn't make good men and women, it just makes them more anxious." Jody frowned and sneered. "Aw you're just jealous." Ann sat back and pulled her legs up under her, lit a cigarette and narrowed her eyes. "Oh?" Jody bent her head. "Well, I am," she whispered.
No writer moves more aptly, quickly, closely, in the tracking of human dimensions of feeling and relation. —Robert Creeley
Fielding Dawson

Fielding Dawson attended the famed Black Mountain College from 1949 to 1952, before settling in New York City where he became part of the Beat scene. Dawson is admired for his stream-of-consciousness style fiction with minimal punctuation, lax grammar, and naturalistic dialogue. Dawson wrote twenty-two books of short stories and memoirs, as well as a history of the Black Mountain College movement.

“Dawson’s ear for speech is im­peccable, but more startling is the way speech… is connected to thought, and how thought itself is formed in a seamless way in the author’s prose… [his] prose is complex, driven and quick, and the reader constantly feels he is en­countering the ruminations of the mind in ways he has never experienced before.” —New York Times Book Review

 “No writer moves more aptly, quickly, closely, in the tracking of human dimensions of feeling and relation.” —Robert Creeley
