Blaise Cendrars interviewed for Paris Review in 1966 reveals the importance of vocabularies to his work. Vocabulary is a linchpin to my own publishing. I notice people's idiosyncratic word usage; for example I'd noticed last summer that Cities of the Red Night uses the word surmise quite frequently. Cendrars went one step further in a loosely constrained writing technique, stating that:
- "For several years, each time that I prepare to write a book, I first arrange the vocabulary I am going to employ. Thus, for L'Homme foudroyé, I had a list of three thousand words arranged in advance, and I used all of them. That saved me a lot of time and gave a certain lightness to my work. It was the first time I used that system." --from [1] via [2]
Today's Wikipedia finds: the fictional place Uqbar, Coleridge and opium and the film version of Confessions of an Opium Eater, which bares little resemblance to the original.
