This Shore. Tumblr Response. Brian Omni Dillon - No Gravity. Neil Gaiman: Keynote Address. 134th CommencementMay 17, 2012 I never really expected to find myself giving advice to people graduating from an establishment of higher education.
I never graduated from any such establishment. I never even started at one. I escaped from school as soon as I could, when the prospect of four more years of enforced learning before I'd become the writer I wanted to be was stifling. I got out into the world, I wrote, and I became a better writer the more I wrote, and I wrote some more, and nobody ever seemed to mind that I was making it up as I went along, they just read what I wrote and they paid for it, or they didn't, and often they commissioned me to write something else for them.
Which has left me with a healthy respect and fondness for higher education that those of my friends and family, who attended Universities, were cured of long ago. Looking back, I've had a remarkable ride. First of all: When you start out on a career in the arts you have no idea what you are doing. This is great.

Fight - Steal This Wiki. Liberate - Steal This Wiki. Survive - Steal This Wiki. Fuck Yeah MCR Quotes. The World of Etgar Keret – Shorts for September 30, 2011. The new season of Shorts begins with a program devoted to the darkly humorous Israeli writer Etgar Keret, whose playful but subversive stories, in which harsh reality often topples into fantasy, have earned him an international following.
His story collections include The Bus Driver Who Wanted to be God, The Girl on the Fridge, and The Nimrod Flipout. Keret lives in Tel Aviv, but came to New York to host an evening of his works at Symphony Space, and disarmed the live audience by admitting that he had taken some time away from fiction (he is also an award-winning filmmaker) because his life had taken a turn for the normal (“I got married, and had a kid, and a mortgage”) that he didn’t know how to put into words. (“I could describe a filthy apartment 500 ways, but I didn’t know how to describe a clean one, and now I lived in a clean one.”) Happily, Keret’s small son provided some inspiration, and he is back to fiction, including several of the tales you’ll hear here.

AUG 3 — In my last column, I talked about what I found ironic — that while denigrating religion, Anders Behring Breivik identified himself as Christian. Theologically, I would say Breivik was in error. But if he considered Christianity a “culture” instead of a belief system, then what can I say?
Don’t we all know people who profess a religion but do not believe in nor practise it? Perhaps for them religion is merely a badge or a club membership card, and for that I cannot judge them, but acknowledge that they have the right to do so. It was not my intention to defend a religion, only to publicly share my wonderment as to why people easily rally to a banner (faith, race or football team) while being clueless as to what they’re actually professing to support. Christians, Muslims, Zoroastrians and Spaghetti God worshippers — all of them are capable of doing terrible things for various reasons. I think God can take care of Himself, don’t you?
