The great novelist Tom Robbins has just published his memoir, and in it he recollects finding his writing voice reviewing a Doors concert in 1967: “The concert had energized me in a peculiar and powerful way. It had jimmied the lock on my language box and smashed the last of my literary inhibitions. When I read over the paragraphs I’d written that midnight, I detected an ease, a freedom of expression, a syntax simultaneously wild and precise, a rare blending of reckless abandon and tight control; and thought: Yeah, this is it. This is how I want to sound.” nytimes/2014/05/21/books/tibetan-peach-pie-a-tom-robbins-memoir.html?_r=0
