What is the aim or goal of your writing: 2nd ed. says, " The change from college teaching and writing poems to the emergency-war atmosphere of Sports Illustrated, where I write long feature articles--and to the world of novel writing, is a huge quantum-leap. It will be interesting to see if these two worlds will ever meet in a single book."
