A new memoir by TV creator David Milch, pieced together with the help of his wife and daughters as his Alzheimer's disease progresses, holds lessons about humanity and the power of art to make those lessons visible.
These conversationally related yarns — as well as insider baseball on the making of television from casting to cutting room floor — are major draws of, especially for dedicated Milch fans like me. I had the good fortune to hear that Cuernavaca story in person, when Milch visitedare the same thing that captivated me most during Milch's visit — his meditations on writing and how to live, and how writing has kept him alive.
It was in collaborating with Warren and another Yale professor, the literary critic and biographer R.W.B. Lewis, that Milch came to screenwriting. He might have otherwise pursued a life in academia. In the 1970s, after completing an MFA at the Iowa Writers Workshop — with a hiatus for that Mexican acid production and an aborted stint as a Yale law student — Milch taught writing at Yale and worked with his former professors on literature textbooks.
