Admittedly I am not much of a skier anymore. But I still enjoy when the snow is as smooth to see as cake frosting and as light as powder and I feel the noiseless rush the speed makes as you drop down...

Young Men,
I took this picture last week so I suppose it would qualify for this contest. My friend Robert Capa took much better photographs than me but he stepped on a mine in Indochina. If this...
Young men,
I went to the bullfights the other day. Forgive me for the poor photo, we had much good rioja from wineskins. All the bulls were named after great writers. This bull's name was Garcia...

Young Men,
This is something unusual I saw last night while driving through Wyoming.
Young Men,
I didn't particularly care for my own brief time living in a Rocky Mountain ski town.
Many years ago, my father was in pain after a bad surgery and consumed with financial worries....

Young Men,
I do not mind the critics, as critics are useful to society, if only because it gives them something better to do than starting wars or strangling coeds. Eventually they will pass from...

At first I wondered why so many of you explainers in this TRG were behaving like rats in a shoe box, gnawing on each other and clawing and squealing and glaring at each other with your beady pink...
Young Man,
Ezra was very kind to me when I first moved to Paris. He was pretentious and we used to call him "The Village Explainer," which means he would've fit in just fine here in TRG. In the...
Reading Tolstoy by candlelight. He is the best goddamned writer who ever lived. And I would stand on Proust's dining room table in my hunting boots and say that.

Other good things. . .
The cold new snow squeaking under your boots when you walked the road back to the village. The country men in the Weinstube with nailed boots and mountain clothes, when the...
The good bread smells of the ovens of that bakery on Boulevard Montparnasse. Walking in the early dusk and stopping outside the terrace of the Negre de Toulouse restaurant where our red and white...

Young Man,
Nor is it mine, to be honest. Back before the war it was a small room across the hallway from the main bar, where we sent the women when we grew tired of their opinions. It is a triumph...

Kiki of Montparnasse grew tired of posing for painters, she found them all to be posers and creeps. However, the famous painter Maurice Utrillo, the great son of Montmartre, wanted her to pose for...
Young Men,
Recently, I read a Tolstoy story about an arrogant and prosperous merchant who set out in a blizzard to do a business deal and buy some lands. On his way through the countryside he lost...

The other day I was sitting in front of Monet's water lillies, studying their power. Monet wanted his art to slow the viewer down. He painted in both space AND time and if you allowed them a few...

Young Men,
Having made 4 marriages work, I have significant experience in the matter.
If I hadn't left Hadley, I would have never written A Farewell to Arms. Or gone to Africa with money from...
The other night I was walking home from the bar at 2am along the Rue Saint Martin, I watched what could only be called a "rat party." Perhaps a half dozen rats of varying sizes were playing tag under...
