Place characters in exotic settingsThe path of art for fame’s sake
Chapter 21
On the other hand, if you want to write about lDes Moines or Scranton in particular,
2And actually use the place-names,
3And put in local color and all that,
4Then maybe you should consider the second path,
5mWhich is the path of art for fame’s sake.
6I assure you that this is not a lesser path,
7nAnd does not deny you the opportunity to earn critical praise,
8oAnd many attentive admirers from one or more of the sexes,
9pNot to mention more money,
10aAnd maybe even a lot more money.
