Have you got any cultured pearls of wisdom for me?

Question

I enquired whether culture was important in the development of a writer without much of it? I get my hero thrown in my face when he clings to me in my knapsack like a barnacle as James Augustine's future wife was on his back as they escaped to Paris, France. Why Mr. Dedalus later allowed himself to become mixed up with the disgusting Molly Bloomers the cockle lady when he was no longer an embryo beggars my belief. To talk about omnipresent clusters when I am only on page three of a difficult enough work when a lot of people don't believe Finnegan was awake but only dreaming and where I have yet to throw my weight into the argument, does not help. I thought this was the place for answers and all I get is questions. It's simple enough- Can you get enough of culture?

Answer 1

Okay, from your question I seem to recognise only one character, that's Finnegan from Joyce's Finnegan's Wake but I haven't ever read it. It's said to be very complicated and composed of one single sentence. As for culture, I think you can never get enough of it. My personal motivation in life is constant learning and educating myself. I regard myself as an open minded person and I try to do my best to become an intelligent lady. As for writing, I think cultural knowledge can help you a lot with your work but just pick up an ordinary book and you'll see that people can write and even get published without much cultural knowledge. Thanks for the chat!

Answer 2

James Joyce is as mentioned is inspirational, maybe start with something short like the Dubliners, run down to your local library and get out anything by Franz Kafka, Virginia Wolf , Iris Murdoch, Oscar Wilde etc, actually, read anyone and anything, absorb everything that is helpful, some writers are rubbish, some are gifted, read both so that you can distinguish between them in your own work.
Remember; Everything is art; grannies, buss drivers, chavs have culture, consequently, your surroundings will effect your work. The question shouldn’t be ‘can you get enough of culture’(it’s a good question to ask), but can you ever get away from it? can you recognise and manipulate the tint culture puts on life to tell the story you, not ‘they’, want to tell? Good luck…

i am going to furnish you pearls, and they bypass as so: Husbands get all pushed outa structure once you sleep with their different halves. what is going round, comes round. Dont commence off, untill she is finished. each and each and every little element takes position for a reason. Doing drugs are not in any respect as interesting as observing some dumbass it is on them. don't be too down about your existence, someone accessible has it alot worse than you do. a authentic guy not in any respect hits a lady, yet takes a whipping from noone. children are our destiny, deal with them suitable, they're going to be taking care people later. and finally, Be an excellent listener, to fully all of us, reason how else will you study the great issues?

Answer 4

Yes, having relevant culture is crucial in the crafting of most fiction. The exotic may draw you deeper into your work, but I find that we write best about those events, locations, and cultures most familiar to us. To be inside a character's head requires you to be an expert on him-- from his nation's prevailing views on world politics to the condition and methods of his long-abandoned elementary school. However, ignorance of your target culture is actually a benefit if your characters are inexperienced in it; your lack of immersion (provided the research you've done is thorough and accurate) will augment their wonderfully surreal feeling of being waist deep in a world not their own.
