... fascintaing article in bookforum about first novels. my favorite quote is from rebecca goldstein:

" The first novel is dangerous for an author. It readies the little cubicle for all her future work to be crammed into. It would be so much better if she could just skip the first and go straight to publishing her second novel. Or, better still, each of her novels should be published as her first novel, for no other reason than that it always is."
