520    "How artists work, how they ritualize their days with the 
       comforting (mundane) details of their lives: their daily 
       routines, fears, dreams, naps, eating habits, and other 
       prescribed, finely calibrated "subtle maneuvers" that help
       them use time, summon up willpower, exercise self-
       discipline and keep themselves afloat with optimism. 
       Artists considering how they work--in letters, diaries, 
       interviews, beguilingly compiled and edited by Mason 
       Currey. Portraits that inspire, amuse, and delight and 
       that reveal the profound fusion of discipline and 
       dissipation through which the artistic temperament is 
       allowed to evolve, recharge, emerge. From Beethoven and 
       Kafka to George Sand, Picasso, Woody Allen and Agatha 
       Christie; from Leo Tolstoy and Henry James to Charles 
       Dickens and John Updike, here are writers, composers, 
       painters, choreographers, playwrights, philosophers, 
       caricaturists, comedians, poets, sculptors, and scientists
       on how they create (and avoid creating) their creations. A
       Sampling of Daily Rituals Charles Dickens Dickens's eldest
       son recalled that, "no city clerk was ever more methodical
       or orderly than he; no humdrum, monotonous, conventional 
       task could ever have been discharged with more punctuality
       or with more business-like regularity than he gave to the 
       work of his imagination and fancy." Dickens rose at 7:00, 
       had breakfast at 8:00, and was in his study by 9:00. He 
       stayed there until 2:00, taking a brief break for lunch 
       with his family, during which he often seemed to be in a 
       trance, eating mechanically and barely speaking a word 
       before hurrying back to his desk. On an ordinary day he 
       could complete about two thousand words, but during a 
       flight of imagination he sometimes managed twice that 
       amount. Maya Angelou: "I keep a hotel room in which I do 
       my work--a tiny, mean room with just a bed and, sometimes,
       if I can find it, a face basin. I keep a dictionary, a 
       Bible, a deck of cards, and a bottle of sherry in the room
       ..."--Provided by publisher.
