THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

VOX POP Who is your favorite author?

with JOHN COLSON

A look back at the interesting legend of the USS Enterprise THE USS Enterprise has set sail on its final voyage, if not to the final frontier, then to its final resting place — probably the scrap heap in some out-of-the-way shipyard, but perhaps it will be turned into a museum. Not much of a major story for most of us, I have to admit, but when I read it I felt a pang of nostalgia. I suppose I should declare, here and now, that I never served on the Enterprise. Hell, I’ve never served in any branch of the U.S. military, having come of age in the 1960s when our nation’s military was deeply entrenched in an immoral, wasteful and stupid war in Vietnam. My nostalgia, rather, was for the namesake of the original, the ship that carried Capt. James T. Kirk and his intrepid crew to the far reaches of our corner of the Milky Way on a remarkably bad but deeply intriguing television series called “Star Trek.” Created by the late, lamented Gene Roddenberry, the show was fancifully dubbed by its creator himself as a kind of “‘Wagon Train’ to the stars,” a reference to another television show from the 1950s. Roddenberry was a television writer in the early days of the medium and wrote a lot of screenplays for Westerns. He clearly loved the genre and unabashedly created a series that had all the hallmarks of a western saga but was set in space. Roddenberry, a well-read fellow to say the least, also used more classical source material for his Western in space, including C.S. Forrester’s Horatio Hornblower stories. Kirk, lamely acted by William Shatner, adopted Hornblower’s panache, his bravery and his tendency to ignore rules that didn’t fit into the captain’s plans of the moment as well as a selfrighteous sense of noble purpose. Great stuff, this, to teenage boys all across the land. I, for one, was a youthful devotee of the Hornblower books, and consequently I took to “Star Trek” like the proverbial duck to a reedy pond. Incredible as it may seem to those who remember those halcyon days of televised pablum and hokey heroism, “Star Trek” was initially rejected by the CBS network, which chose to hang its space helmet on a farcical series by Irwin Allen called

“Lost in Space.” Can’t help but wonder who the brainiac was who made that decision and whether he held on to his job for very long afterward. Anyway, the “Star Trek” series, and the movies and offshoots it spawned, all were based on a premise that humanity would find its way out of the illogical (nod to Mr. Spock) and self-destructive mess of the 21st century and become the wise, compassionate and visionary race we all think we should be. Wishful thinking? Only time will tell. Interestingly, according to legend, the original, actual Enterprise was a British sloop captured by Benedict Arnold in 1775 in a bid to gain control of the vital Lake Champlain. It was Arnold who named the ship, according to this story, before the 70-ton sloop was reoutfitted and put to use by the infant U.S. Navy. Various sailing warships carried the name Enterprise through the 1800s and early 1900s until 1916, when a steel-hulled motor patrol boat got the name. The first aircraft carrier to carry the name hit the water in 1936, and the legend was truly born. The Enterprise was not in Pearl Harbor in 1941, when the Japanese bombed the harbor, but it headed there immediately to provide support. It turned out to be one of three carriers that, having been commissioned prior to World War II, survived that conflict intact. The eighth Enterprise, a nuclearpowered ship, was the key vessel in the Cuban blockade in 1962. It was in the North Arabian Sea and dumped a reported 800,000 pounds of bombs on the country as part of the plan to destroy the Taliban and al-Qaida. The ship also became a part of popular culture, both as a character in the “Star Trek” series, as the 1994 host of a “Star Trek” convention and as the home ship for Tom Cruise in the movie “Top Gun.” Yes, regardless of how you feel about war and weaponry, you can’t deny that the various incarnations of the Enterprise have been busy and important ships in reality and otherwise. It remains to be seen whether we’ll have another one.

CHEERS&JEERS

Basalt resident Ted Davenport soars into the first event of Aspen Fashion Week on March 11.

CHEERS/JEERS | To the idea of a lot of paving on Highway 82 this summer. In all, about nine miles of the four-lane highway are scheduled to be milled and repaved, meaning delays and construction hazards during busy travel months … and smooth sailing when it is done. Forgive us for being conﬂicted.

JEERS | To Colorado Mountain College trustees for increasing tuition rates between 5 and 7 percent for the 2012-13 academic year while also increasing room and board 1 to 3 percent. The increase follows an unfortunate pattern of costs increasing for those in the most need of help — mainly the unemployed returning to college to ﬁnd a new career, or update skills to rejoin the workplace, and the young graduates facing a nearly impenetrable work force.

HYDRO PLANT WILL GO TO VOTE IN NOVEMBER The Aspen City Council decided on March 12 that voters will be allowed on Nov. 6 to settle the question of whether the city can build a hydroelectric plant using water from Castle and Maroon creeks. Oﬃcially, the council’s unanimous vote rescinded an ordinance it passed Dec. 12 that gave land-use approval and rezoned open space property for the Castle Creek Energy Center hydroelectric plant oﬀ Power Plant Road. But council members said they would work this year to craft language for an Election Day referendum that would leave the project’s fate up to city voters. City Clerk Kathryn Koch said the deadline to pass a resolution with the ballot language would come in

Strudel.

CHEERS | To Aspen Skiing Co.’s decision to stay with the Aspen Chamber and Resort Association. While most of the members we have talked to would prefer the aﬃliation with the very conservative and narrow-minded national chamber were diﬀerent, one cannot change an organization from the outside. Instead, Skico is rightfully staying in the discussion with the chamber and should work with ACRA to survey the rest of the business community on its values and what it wants ACRA to represent.

Provenance.

Anosognosia.

Piddle.

JEERS | To the few northern Colorado towns that are selling billions of gallons of water to fracking companies. While we realize gas money is hard to turn down when locals are suffering, the reality is that Colorado is living in a constant water deficit, and fracking uses nearly 1 percent of the state’s total usage already, according to the state. Not to mention that selling it without asking for transparency about environmental effects of fracking feels shortsighted.

Malarky.

the ﬁrst week of September. Under city law, the ballot language must be made available to voters at least 60 days before the election. The language is likely to be a big sticking point between project opponents and supporters.

through 10 p.m. on March 15 at www.active.com or 4 p.m. on March 16 in person at the Ute Mountaineer. Race-day registration is 45 and will be held from 6 to 6:30 a.m. in the gondola building at the base of Aspen Mountain.

JUDGE ORDERS BAR TO QUIET DOWN A judge has issued a preliminary injunction that orders the owners of the Silverqueen Lounge in Aspen to turn down its music and calm down its patrons. District Judge James Boyd’s six-page ruling, delivered March 9, comes after London resident Christopher Wright ﬁled a complaint in December in Pitkin County District Court against Silverqueen, its owner Joel Howard and landlord Geld LLC.

FIVE THINGS

Wright owns four units in the Pitkin Center Condominiums at 520 E. Hyman Ave., where Silverqueen also is located. The Silverqueen bar is on the second floor, while Wright’s residence is on the third level. Wright, his wife and four other witnesses had testified that Silverqueen’s music made it difficult to sleep at night, and “most disturbing is the thumping of bass tones,” Boyd wrote. Boyd also said that based on the testimony he heard, the noise became “disturbing” at 10 or 10:30 at night and continued until the bar’s closing time of 2 a.m., mostly on the weekends. Boyd reasoned that by moving into a building with residents, the Silverqueen owners took ont eh challenge to the restrictions in place, and decided its recorded music and loud patrons breached terms of its lease.

GUEST OPINION COLUMN

by KERRY BROPHY-LLOYD of WRITERS ON THE RANGE

Saying goodbye to the ranch ALL MY CHILDHOOD memories take me back to my family’s guest ranch in a remote area of northwest Colorado. Without this place, what would I have to remember? There are the good memories of riding through uncut hay meadows and racing toy boats down our backyard stream, all set beneath the looming peaks of the Mount Zirkel Wilderness near Steamboat Springs. Then there are the hardknock memories that every ranch kid shares, like catching the school bus at 6 a.m. for the long ride into town, the mud seasons that left our truck stuck for days, the fact that we could never take a family vacation because relentless work weighed us down. But memories are all I have left; my family sold our ranch when I was in high school. And this is not just my experience. Every day, other kids in the West have to say goodbye

One project in eastern Colorado’s grasslands reveals that ranching families don’t have to give up what they love and that strength in numbers counts when it comes to conservation. Here’s the example: A rancher named Harold Yoder got to thinking that one way to lure back his older son, who had moved to Oklahoma, was to acquire the nearby Winship Ranch, a 37,000-acre spread that had been for sale since 2008. The place, he thought, was solid country for someone like his son to ranch. A few of Harold’s neighbors were interested in the Winship, too, but nobody on his own could swing the asking price.

down with The Nature Conservancy and asked, “Can we do this together?” That ﬁrst discussion led to a new model for private-lands conservation in Colorado, one in which four families placed easements on their home ranches and then used the associated out-of-pocket savings to purchase portions of the Winship Ranch, enabling each family to expand their operations. The Nature Conservancy negotiated the easements and facilitated the transaction. The resulting deal safeguards 48,500 acres of shortgrass prairie, land essential for providing habitat for pronghorn, swift fox and the lesser prairie chicken. It also catches and puriﬁes water while simultaneously protecting several historic ranching operations. Sure enough, Harold’s son, Sid Yoder, returned with his young family after the complex project took shape.

“It’s been a pleasure and a joy to come home,” Sid said. “It’s where I grew up, it’s a place that I love, and I was glad to have an opportunity to bring my kids back here.” While I will never get the chance to return to my own family’s ranch, there is comfort in knowing that, given new tools, people who want to do so can keep their ranches alive. And though the ranch of my childhood is no longer mine, the last time I visited, I saw my little blue tricycle was still stashed in a corner of the old barn. It looked just the way I remembered it. Kerry Brophy-Lloyd is a contributor to Writers on the Range, a service of High Country News (www.hcn.org). She is creative manager for The Nature Conservancy’s Marketing Resource Center West and currently lives in Idaho with her husband and young son.

CLASSIC ASPEN

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

Boxing filled Aspen’s Wheeler like it did in this Denver exhibition between world boxing champion James Jeffries and world wrestling champion Frank Gotchin in 1910.

PUGILISTS IN THE WHEELER No NFL or NBA games entertained 19th-century Aspenites;

still, there was no shortage of spectator sports. Summer offered weekly opportunities: trotting horse races, rock drilling contests and America’s favorite pastime, baseball. The premier event of any season, however, was boxing. Venues included the Armory Hall (now City Hall) and the Wheeler. Prizefighting of the 1890s and early 1900s combined local pride with itineranttalent. Typically, a touring fighter would take on any local who was willing to step into the ring. Prizes were large. For big fights, the winner pocketed an amount equal to a quarter or half a year’s wages for a miner. Locals cheered for their compatriots, but bet on whomever they thought might win. The touring pugilist was paid if he won, and miners ended the evening with an, “exchange of silver on the result.” You wouldn’t want to get into the ring with a miner who trained by swinging 12-pound sledgehammers 10 hours a day and brushed off falling rocks like leaves landing on his body. Although many states banned boxing, Colorado had more than its share of top fighters and, along with Nevada (both having many male-dominated towns), welcomed the sport.

favored venue for major ﬁghts. The lightweight match between Ray Streeter and Kid Parker drew one of Aspen’s largest crowds. Parker, with a career 27 wins including 25 knockouts, prevailed. As with contemporary Denver

Broncos news coverage, boxing filled local daily newspaper columns. Major national bouts were covered round by round, with Colorado and Aspen’s contests receiving equal coverage. The greatest fighter to step into an Aspen ring was Jack Dempsey, but not the Jack Dempsey you may be thinking of. The more famous Dempsey, The “Manassa Mauler” was from Colorado. That heavyweight champion did not fight as “Jack Dempsey” until the other one died. The one who boxed in Aspen, a world middleweight champion from Ireland, lost only three out of 65 fights in his lifetime. In 1890 “Nonpareil” Dempsey staged a four-round exhibition at the Wheeler against Australian pugilist Paddy Gorman. Top fighters like Dempsey did not have to defend their title often, so to increase their income they toured the country demonstrating their skills, but stopping short of a fight-to-theend. Enthusiastic crowds greeted Dempsey at the railroad station and showered attention on him wherever he went during his stay. The manly sport filled as many hours of discussion back then as Super Bowl games do today. Tim Willoughby’s family story parallels Aspen’s. He began sharing folklore while teaching for Aspen Country Day School and Colorado Mountain College. Now a tourist in his native town, he views it with historical perspective.

A short play titled ‘How the Story Grew’ was presented by the members of the club with the ﬁrmer but milder sex acting as the audience.

garnished with 2 blue cheese olives

Even when stocking my liquor cabinet, I always try to choose organic and American-made whenever I can, so it made me happy when I was introduced to an organic spirit called American Harvest. We all know that we need to make a difference, and if you can with the libations you choose, then sign me up. American Harvest is made on a single organic and sustainable farm in Idaho, so as you’re sipping, you can imagine you are doing something good for the planet. I chose to save the world “up” with two blue cheese olives on my 40th birthday last week. Nothing like a martini with great friends at the Grape Bar. Goodbye 30s and hello to me making a difference.

WORDS to DRINK BY

by KELLY J. HAYES

TO YOUR HEALTH A VOTRE SANTE! It is what the French say in offering a toast when friends are gathered, a fine bottle of wine is opened and glasses are filled. Translated literally it means “To your health,” and the sentiment is clear, a wish given to you for a long and healthy life. But does drinking wine contribute to a long and healthy life? Perhaps you don’t feel that way the morning after a night of indulging KELLY J. when that foggy, leaden HAYES heaviness envelops both head and soul. But there is evidence on the medical front that drinking can, at least statistically, make you a healthier person. Go to the Mayo Clinic’s website and there will be guarded suggestions that an average of two drinks a day for men and one for women daily (a drink is generally defined as 5 ounces) may have positive health benefits. And as early as 1992, researchers at Harvard concurred with earlier studies and stated that moderate consumption of wine was one of “eight proven ways to reduce coronary heart disease risk.” Scientists have cited the antioxidants flavonoids, which are abundant in the skins of red grapes, as being beneficial in reducing the production of LDL (the bad stuff ) cholesterol, boosting HDL (the good stuff ) and limiting clotting in blood. The emphasis, of course, is on moderation. Studies that show drinking wine, particularly red wine, provides positive health benefits, stress (often in bold capitalization) that the key to getting those benefits is moderation. Simply put, less may be more. In 1991, the newsmagazine show “60 Minutes” aired a segment on the

I L L U S T R AT I O N B Y T H I N K S TO C K

socalled “French Paradox.” A French researcher named Serge Renaud completed a study that showed the French, despite a diet much higher in saturated fats than their American counterparts, had far fewer heart attacks. The study showed

reductions by as much as 30 percent in the incidence of coronary disease in those who drank red wines and those who didn’t. He deduced that the most likely reason for this disparity was that the French drank red wine daily. While further studies have questioned whether the Paradox was accurate in describing the depth of

the phenomenon, there have been numerous studies since that have also pointed to reductions in coronary disease levels and cancer rates among wine consumers. The wine industry applauded what they perceived to be manna from heaven and wine consumption in the U.S. increased dramatically, the biggest outcome was that other researchers worldwide began to study the effect of wine consumption on human health. The most universally accepted benefit found by most researchers is that moderate daily consumption of alcohol can be a factor in improving cardiovascular health. It should be noted that these benefits accrue from any alcohol consumption, not just wine, something the wine industry would prefer to keep out of the conversation. But wine also has other attributes that make it unique from, say, rum or whisky. The skin of the grapes, particularly the dark grapes used in making red wine, contains resveratrol. Resveratrol is also

thought to increase HDL levels. Of course the grape juice industry points out that its product is made from grapes as well and drinking straight grape juice may offer even greater health benefits than red wine. If you need validation from the medical community that a glass or two a day is the right thing to do, there is enough evidence out there to suggest that you’re probably going to be headed in the right direction. So again, does drinking wine contribute to a longer, healthier life? Well, not if you’re hit by a car, struck down by an avalanche, or bit by a Black Mamba. But the pleasure that comes from being with friends and toasting to each other’s health is just one example of a life well-lived. A bottle of wine can take you places, both literally and figuratively. It can please all five of the senses and that, in and of itself, makes it a pleasant part of life. Drinking wine gives us a direct connection to the earth from which it comes. Wine is grown, made, and packaged for the sole purpose of bringing pleasure to those who consume it. I contend that for those reasons alone, a life with wine will be healthier. Any other benefits that come from its consumption are merely, as they say in New Orleans, lagniappe, a little something extra. So drink to your health. In moderation, of course. Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-tobe-designated appellation of Old Snowmass with his wife, Linda, and a black Lab named Vino. He can be reached at malibukj@wineink.com.

FOR ALEX EBERT, the lead singer of Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, there have been vast diﬀerences between the making of the band’s debut album, 2009’s “Up From Below,” and the follow-up. Certainly one of the starkest diﬀerences is expectations: When “Up From Below” was released, there were few of these. Ebert had been the singer of the moderately successful dance-punk group Ima Robot, but that group had parted from its label in 2007, and it wasn’t as if the music world was atwitter to see what Ebert, who was battling addictions, would do for his next move. But “Up From Below” became an out-ofnowhere hit, its songs featured on car commercials and movie trailers, and the band landed gigs like a Saturday night headlining spot at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival.

Which means that Ebert is in a business-like mode regarding the next album. On a recent Tuesday afternoon, Ebert was considerably late for our interview, caught up with band tasks. But he called from somewhere in Ojai while driving to a band meeting: “More or less going to work. But we’re going to take a threehour detour to take pictures,” he said, amiable and clearly making an eﬀort to stay focused amid apparent distractions. The album, in the mixing stage, isn’t due for release till late May, but the group was facing a deadline in March. “It’s a rushing lights thing.” “Up From Below,” Ebert said, reﬂected a group of musicians who were unsettled in way, looking ahead. “Those songs, it felt like we were reaching, and looking toward the future,” the 33-year-old Ebert said. The new album, titled “Here,” feels

diﬀerent to Ebert and his colleagues: “This feels like we’re speaking from the present. It’s a nice feeling to be speaking from a place, rather than toward a place. It’s a nice experience in the sense that it’s a few steps forward, further along the path.” But what seems to be the biggest contrast in the making of the two albums is this: Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, in Ebert’s mind, were not yet a band when they made “Up From Below.” Sure, in a sense no band is really a band yet when they make their ﬁrst recording; the musicians are still feeling out each other out, the group identity is just coming into being. For Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, though, the process of coming together as a band is a bigger matter than for most. The Magnetic Zeros are built on a foundation of PHOTO BY MYLES PETTENGILL

community. Their performances hearken back to the idea of a ‘60s commune, the musicians seeking a state of ecstasy in the act of congregating. A focal point of the shows is the interplay between Ebert and featured singer Jade Castrinos, a one-time romantic interest of Ebert’s. The music itself is a big expression — although sometimes labeled as folk, it’s hard to imagine Ebert playing these songs without a posse of loose-limbed players, with horns and drums, providing not just a sonic backdrop, but a society. And for Ebert, it’s impossible to imagine that spirit of togetherness vanish once the music stopped for the night. “That’s important onstage. But it’s important to have that in real life

way to step outside in a way, have the clean palate,” he said. “There’s so much in a name and when you establish a name, you’re in a category. On the ﬁrst album, I was reaching for who I wanted to be. It took a lot of gusto and tension to push through, to throw the rock that far ahead and try to catch it. It was a character I was trying to step to — the potential, the human potential that was in me, that’s in everybody, and the power in that.” For Ebert, personal growth is tied tightly to the evolution of the band. He is reluctant to deﬁne precisely the path he is on, but he is quick to note that he’s not on the path alone. “I’m not sure what the true reasons and implications are. But I think it’s really important for our journey on

too. It’s got to be real,” he said. “It’s sharing, splitting the money, that communal sense.” Growth seems to be the central theme of the band. Ebert chose a pseudonym — there is no Edward Sharpe in the group — as a way of shedding a past identity. “Initially Edward Sharpe was a

Earth that we all came together,” he said of the band. “I’m proud that we came together and stuck with it. It’s not tough — but it’s also not easy. There are other reasons to stay together besides just making music — reasons that have to do with the music, but that are all-encompassing life reasons.”

A year ago, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros expanded the circle by joining with Mumford & Sons and Old Crow Medicine Show on the Railroad Revival Tour. The three groups, united by their desire to grow unusual things out of folk roots, traveled by train for

to be shattered eventually. That’s the transcendence we’re all reaching for.” The new album, which was kicked oﬀ with an early session in Bogalusa, La., before the band went to its own studio in Ojai, is another step along that path. “It’s a continuance. But

THE MAGNETIC ZEROS ARE BUILT ON A FOUNDATION OF COMMUNITY. THEIR PERFORMANCES HEARKEN BACK TO THE IDEA OF A ‘60S COMMUNE, THE MUSICIANS SEEKING A STATE OF ECSTASY IN THE ACT OF CONGREGATING. a six-city tour. The experience was documented in “Big Easy Express,” which has its world premiere this week at the South By Southwest Film Conference in Austin. “It was one of the most blissful experiences, a real communal experience. An outrageous highlight — we played music the whole time,” Ebert said. The current Edward Sharpe tour — a quick seven-city spin of the Southwest that includes a show on Thursday, March 22, at Aspen’s Belly Up — travels by more conventional means. (A national tour in May hits spots including Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre and Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.) Simply having the group doesn’t seem to be the ultimate goal, but a means of getting there. The target is transcendence, bliss. Or as it was put in “40 Day Dream,” the opening song on “Up From Below”: “I know I’m sleeping ‘cause this dream’s too amazing/ ... It’s the magical mystery kind ... the too good to be true kind of love.” “That’s the most important thing it’s about to me,” Ebert, who made a solo album, “Alexander,” in between Edward Sharpe projects, said. “I call it breaking the glass. I want that roof

there’s something that feels a bit ... part of the evolution,” Ebert said. While Ebert continually talks about forward movement, it has often been observed that their presence is borrowed from the past — specifically, the flower children of the ‘60s. Ebert and company look like they could have stepped out of either “Hair” or “Jesus Christ Superstar”; the sound touches on the psychedelic side of the Beatles, Donovan and the Jefferson Airplane. But more than the look and sound, they feel like the ‘60s — check out the Youtube clip of the song “River of Love,” with the band sitting in a field, Ebert’s hair braided with grass. “We remind me of things. I’m reminded of music I loved in my past, in the human collective past,” Ebert said on the idea of being a throwback. “The feeling of certain eras of music — the feelings are timeless. I don’t want to recreate something that’s been done, but I want to recreate the feeling of something I’ve loved. “I want an ‘a-ha’ moment: You haven’t heard something quite like it before. But it reminds you of something you loved, maybe something you forgot about.”

T.C. Boyle wasn’t given many breaks. He made his way up, “hand over hand, from the depths of the working class.” HIS CAREER STARTED with one brilliant story — “The OD and Hepatitis Railroad or Bust” — about a bleak, aimless and drugaddled era of his life. It ran in The North American Review alongside John Cheever, John Irving and Raymond Carver. The fervor was unleashed. Boyle began writing seven days a week. His ﬁrst novel, “Water Music” (1981), described in the New Republic as “pitiless and brilliant,” was followed by a series of hit novels: “World’s End” (1987), winner of the Pen/ Faulkner Award; “The Road to Wellville” (1993), which was made into a movie starring Anthony Hopkins, John Cusak and Matthew Broderick; “Drop City” (2003); and “The Tortilla Curtain” (1997). Boyle’s style is lush and fecund. Erotic and original. Biting and outrageous. Fascinated by famous and eccentric Americans, Boyle’s stories delve into such historical personas as sexual-behavior scientist Alfred Kinsey in “The Inner Circle” (2004), cereal inventor John Harvey Kellogg in “The Road to Wellville” and Frank Lloyd Wright in “The Women”. Nothing is oﬀ limits for Boyle. Everything is game.

DO YOU VIEW WRITING AS CATHARSIS? Not so much. I’ll take on anything in any mode. I have no restrictions. I feel lucky to that degree. I think that’s why I’ve been able to be productive because there are no limitations. And many writers are uncomfortable with that. Many writers solely write autobiography. My mantra is not “Write what you know” but “Write what you don’t know, and maybe you’ll ﬁnd something out.”

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR NEW BOOK. I am running around on a paperback tour for “When the Killing’s Done.” In September, there’ll be the next level, “San Miguel.” It’s not a sequel to this one, but it is also set on the Channel Islands, another story I discovered while doing this. It’s an historical piece about three women who lived on this island. It’s

entirely from the point of view of women, which is something I’ve never done before. It’s also straightforward realism, something I’ve never done before at that length. So I’m always trying out new things.

YOUR WORKS TRULY DEFY CATEGORIZATION. It’s because I’m curious. And I really can’t think about things deeply or what a scenario will be until I am actually making it. Anything can be a story in any mode. I’m just doing riffs, like a jazz musician. You find a theme, and you do a riff to find what it will be.

AND WITHOUT THE STRUCTURE OF DISCIPLINE, YOU CAN’T PULL IT OFF. Yeah. I don’t want to sound mystical here. You have to force it. I work seven days a week — except when I’m on tour, of course. I work constantly. I don’t feel good unless I’m working. There is a kind of beautiful mystery to making art, but you won’t make any art if you wait for it to come. You have to force it. And some days it doesn’t come. You still must trod forward. This is especially true when you are doing a longer work, like “When the Killing’s Done.” You have to push through. When you’re doing something else altogether, some of these insights will come to you as long as you’re keeping your work moving forward every morning.

DO YOU HAVE A DAILY GOAL? I hope to get to the end of a scene or the end of a chapter. Sometimes it’s not possible. Sometimes other things intrude. Sometimes your brain goes dead and you just can’t get there. You just have to ﬁght for inspiration.

HAVE YOU EVER CREATED A CHARACTER THAT WAS TOO CLOSE TO HOME FOR YOU? The characters I’m inventing, whether they’re male or female,

obnoxious or saintly, are all parts of me or people I know. I rarely take a character I know from life and put that character in a story. I’ve done it twice. Of all the characters I make up, the ones I relate to best are the sort of punk guys, the disaﬀected, like Ned Rise from “Water Music.”

HAS YOUR STYLE CHANGED MUCH OVER THE DECADES? No. My style is pretty much the same since the very beginning. I’ve always been a lush stylist. I love the language, and I love the way words sound, which is why I love to perform in public. I did two gigs at the book fair yesterday to huge audiences. The bigger the audience, the happier I am. I love to read aloud.

SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID WRITING IS NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE TAUGHT. YOU EITHER HAVE “IT” OR NOT. WHAT DO YOU THINK? OR IS IT ABOUT PUTTING IN YOUR 10,000 HOURS? Both ideas have credence and value. Obviously, you can’t be any artist of any kind, whether that’s a graphic artist or a musician or an artist in words, if you don’t have a great talent for it. But many people do have a great talent and never discover it or develop it. You can’t teach somebody to be a great writer, but you can be their coach and encourage them and help them make the little discoveries they must make along the way to develop their own style. You know people who hear a great song on the radio and can sing it back to you — note for note. Perfectly. Now that’s a talent. The next level of talent is, can that person write his own song and sing it in his own style? There’s a huge leap between having a talent, an imitative talent, and making the leap to becoming an original artist. No one can teach you how to do that. You learn how to make an art through absorbing the art. You have to read everyone, and unconsciously, subconsciously, their style will help you to make discoveries about your own work.

AND THEN THERE’S THE WRITING WORKSHOP. As far as teaching creative writing, a workshop is valuable because you’re simply interpreting the students’ work. A beginning writer can get an idea of how an audience perceives the work, interprets the work. It might or might not trigger some kind of impulse in editing. That’s about it.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO A STUDENT WHO PRODUCES BRILLIANT SHARDS BUT HAS LITTLE COHESION? Well, they have to be bitten. They have to really want to do it at any level. When I went to the Iowa Workshop, I was there from 1972 to 1978 because I also got my Ph.D., many of our famous writers today were in my classes. There were an equal number who kind of vanished. I don’t know exactly why. Maybe they’re dead. Maybe they’re being held by terrorist groups in South America. Maybe they went into advertising or gave up. I don’t really know. The ones who make it are the ones who have a ﬁerce desire to produce art. Almost to a drug high. And once you have that high, you can’t stop doing it. That student who isn’t quite pulling his work together may never do it.

I THINK IT’S AMAZING THAT YOU’VE BEEN ABLE TO BLEND BEING AN ARTIST WITH BEING A FATHER OF THREE. I HAVE TWO KIDS, AND I HAD TO KICK THEM OUT OF THE HOUSE SO I COULD MAKE THIS PHONE CALL. I THINK IT SAYS A LOT ABOUT THEM RESPECTING THE BOUNDARIES AND YOU HAVING YOUR NICHE TO DO YOUR ART. We have to address their mother now. I’ve been lucky in that she has never had to go out and work. She has been home the entire time with the kids. It was pretty simple, even when we lived in our ﬁrst house, which was really small, like 1,100 square feet. We had one kid then. She would take care of my daughter, and I would shut the door to the bedroom, where I had a desk and a very large stereo, and I would be in another world. And when I emerged, I would take over.

HOW DOES MUSIC FUEL YOUR WRITING? I’ve never written anything without music. It’s because of the rhythm. Writing is extremely rhythmic. Prose writing has to have a beat to it. It has to be exactly right. Listening to music helps me feel the rhythm. Every now and then you get an editor who doesn’t really “get it.” “We want to take this word out of the sentence.” You can’t do that because the sentence will not read properly. It has to have a beat. So listening to music all day helps me to feel that.

ANY PARTICULAR GENRE? When I am working I listen almost exclusively to classical music or jazz that I grew up on. That is Miles Davis, John Coltrane. When I am not working, that’s when I prefer rock ’n’ roll. I love vocal music as long as it’s in a language I don’t understand. I listen to a lot of Bach; I listen to a lot of Puccini. If it’s in English, the vocals seem to intrude on my unconscious state when I write.

DO YOU HAVE A PHYSICAL RITUAL BEFORE YOU SIT DOWN? A SUPERSTITIOUS MODE? Yes. Absolutely.

PLEASE DIVULGE. And I advise any beginning writer to try to do this. It’s relatively expensive because I buy one chicken every day (laughing). I bleed a chicken into a dish pan and put my bare feet in it, and when the blood goes cold I am done with work for the day. Very simple.

THAT SOUNDS REASONABLE. In truth my ritual is to rewrite what I’ve done the day before over and over until I get into that unconscious state. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t. But there is a kind of deep pleasure that focuses you in the rewriting. It’s also a way of freeing up your unconscious mind to make

a connection as to why you’re doing it and where it’s going. Nothing I’ve done, even if it seems airtight to the reader, has been planned beforehand. It all happens organically in the moment of composition. I don’t know what anything will be or what it means until I am well into it. I just follow it.

NOT EVEN THREE BULLET POINTS ON A NAPKIN? No. That is too concrete. I’m dealing much more with abstractions. Every writer is diﬀerent, of course. But I have this innate ability to structure things. That kind of structuring takes place in my mind, not on an outline or anything like that. Of course, there are points in a story or a novel when I begin to realize what’s going to go and what’s going to be.

CAN YOU GIVE AN EXAMPLE? “The Tortilla Curtain,” which is probably my most read book; it’s adopted in all the schools. That ends with a gesture. I didn’t realize until I got to that gesture that it was the end. I thought there was going to be more. But once that gesture occurred to me, I realized it was the place to end because it brings the reader back into the book and re-examines their own prejudices and what it means. But I didn’t know that until I got there. In “East Is East,” I remember I was up on the mountain working day and night. And now it was time to take my kids swimming. I remember pulling the car over. This is when I was two pages from the end. I was scribbling the last line because it came to me at that very moment. And there it was the next day. I don’t know how others work, but I presume intuitively as I do. I don’t write essays. I don’t care about things like that. I don’t want to give speeches. I don’t want to write screenplays. I just want this magical world where these discoveries come. It’s so exciting to start with nothing and have something. Hilary Stunda writes frequently for The Aspen Times Weekly.

turns the camera on ethnic, hip-hop, ballet, modern and popular dances around the world. The show’s title, Baryshnikov says, is meant to be both commanding and descriptive. He wants the dancers to move toward his camera, and he wants to show what he sees in their dances. The Miami show includes a handful of images from Baryshnikov’s previous photography collections “Dominican Moves,” shot in cafes in the Dominican Republic, and “Merce My Way,” his collaboration with the challenging American choreographer Merce Cunningham, who died in 2009. “When a body moves, it’s the most revealing thing,” he continues. “Dance for me a minute and I’ll tell you who you are.”

Dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov poses with two of the photographs he will be exhibiting at the Gary Nader Art Centre in Miami.

The SOCIAL SIDE of TOWN

THE HIPPIES KEEP COMING THOSE AQUARIANS sure know how to party, so I had more photos this week. The people who have birthdays in February have, for years, held the Aquarius Party at the Hotel Jerome. And in the late auntumn, Su Lum held a spaghetti dinner party for a group of us. Then last month MARY she announced her ESHBAUGH HAYES retirement after working 35 years in the advertising department of The Aspen Times. She will continue to write her column for the paper, however. Undercurrent ... I have a tulip up by the front door!

If there was something beneath, something behind, it was hidden from him.” Then, a freckled, inappropriately dressed 11-year-old girl named Tommie walks up to him and says, “I’m supposed to ask you for a cigarette.” Lamb obliges Tommie and asks, “Now what do I get in exchange?” And so begins Colorado writer Bonnie Nadzam’s crisp, startling and psychologically intense debut novel, “Lamb,” which just won the prestigious by DAVID J. KAHN

NOTEWORTHY

Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize. The parallels between “Lamb” and Vladimir Nabokov’s “Lolita” are evident. Both sets of characters have a similar age diﬀerence and respond to their troubles by hitting the road, moving from one hotel to another to avoid legal trouble. But Tommie is more innocent than Lolita, and although Nadzam includes several uncomfortable scenes in which boundaries are almost crossed, Lamb’s intentions toward the girl are not sexual. Instead, Lamb wants to rescue Tommie from her dispiriting urban apartment life of half neglect, with its outgrown shoes and dinners of Cap’n Crunch cereal, and to re-create his ideal childhood — spiriting her away to the Rocky Mountains, stuﬃng her with nutritious food, even dressing

her in an old-fashioned nightgown. He teaches her to build a campfire and takes her hiking through landscapes that Nadzam describes with characteristic precision: “The passing day was marked by ravens calling, by constant twittering of song sparrows in the trees and on the fence posts. Acres of dry grass banded by red and gold ribbons of fireweed and yellow gumweed.” Throughout the novel, Nadzam keeps the reader off balance, veering between sympathy and repulsion for Lamb and his actions. Lamb puts an original spin on the traditional myth of the West through modern-day characters who long to be “saved” and renewed by the Rocky Mountain landscape.
