Reading your way to better writing<\/h2>
\"woman<\/figure>

One of the things that has been (is) vital to my success as a writer and educator is the fact that, from a freakishly young age, I\u2019ve read everything.<\/p>

Nutritional information. Ancient magazines in waiting rooms. Bumper stickers. Barbara Tuchman. The Lord of the Rings<\/em>. Gossip magazines. Feminist blogs. Not-so-feminist blogs. James Baldwin. Germaine Greer. Cormac McCarthy. Joan Didion (again and again and again). Orwell. Eliot. Hardy. All the Brontes. Shakespeare. Jack Gilbert. The Bible. The Odyssey<\/em>. Ulysses. <\/em>Greek myths. Native American myths. Books on veganism, endurance running, particle physics, Arctic exploration, gardening, technology, history, booze, the Spanish civil war.<\/p>

The more I read, the more visible the threads that twitch through the living fabric of literature: allusion, image, theme; the homage, the salute, the nod, the whisper from dead to living to the spirits.<\/p>

Reading like a starving person at a buffet cultivates a literary meta-perception I cannot imagine arriving at any other way. It leads along skewed yet sound philosophical paths, such as the one that follows.<\/p>

Q:<\/strong>\u00a0What\u2019s the difference between Charlie Brooker and a Buddhist nun?<\/h4>

A:<\/strong>\u00a0Not much, it turns out.<\/h4>

For those of you who aren\u2019t familiar,\u00a0Charlie Brooker<\/a>\u00a0is a British writer, satirist (tough job these days), and broadcaster. He dislikes most things and swears a lot. The nun is\u00a0Pema Chodron<\/a>, an American Buddhist teacher and author.<\/p>

How did I arrive at this improbable conclusion that these unalike people are very much alike? It started with binge-reading Chodron. Sometimes books, like people, appear in your life and you wonder how you lived without them. They bring a fundamental shift of energy and wisdom that kicks down a door in your brain, shines light into a black room and blows away the dust.<\/p>

\"woman<\/figure>

One of Chodron\u2019s books cropped up on the shelf of an Airbnb in rural Arkansas. Stealing it seemed like bad karma, so I went to Amazon for\u00a0When Things Fall Apart<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0The Wisdom of No Escape<\/a><\/em>. I was reading the latter on a flight to London, trying to jog myself out of a weird funk. The world felt like it was shrinking around me. Telltale clumsiness had emerged: dropping things, taking wrong turns, sending idiotic emails, all the usual signs of a swerve into depression. I needed to hear something good.<\/p>

Chodron writes things like:<\/p>

\u201cOur wisdom is all mixed up with what we call our neurosis. Our brilliance, our juiciness, our spiciness, is all mixed up with our craziness and our confusion, and therefore it doesn\u2019t do any good to try to get rid of our so-called negative aspects, because in that process we also get rid of our basic wonderfulness.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>

Don\u2019t you feel better, saner, more worthy, just reading that?<\/p>

How about:<\/p>

\u201cLoving-kindness \u2014\u00a0maitri \u2014\u00a0towards ourselves doesn\u2019t mean getting rid of anything. Maitri means that we can still be crazy after all these years. We can still be angry after all these years. We can still be timid or jealous or full of feelings of unworthiness. The point is not to try to change ourselves\u2026. It\u2019s about befriending who we are already.<\/p><\/blockquote>

That\u2019s how she thinks, speaks, writes. Chodron exudes calm. Her philosophy is that people are basically good and need only to wake up that inner goodness.<\/p>

Charlie Brooker begs to differ. <\/p>

\u201cI don\u2019t get people. What\u2019s their appeal, precisely? They waddle around with their haircuts on, cluttering the pavement like gormless, farting skittles. They\u2019re awful.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>

That\u2019s from\u00a0Dawn of the Dumb<\/a><\/em>, a collection of his \u201cScreen Burn\u201d columns for the\u00a0Guardian<\/a><\/em>\u00a0<\/a>from October 2004 to June 2007. The dates are significant because that was the pinnacle of my London music journalist\/gadabout phase. It spanned my final year at Q<\/em>, another year on a now defunct music magazine, and a stint as a promotions coordinator for a megalomaniac.<\/p>

Happy years spent in a haze of 9-to-5, city breaks, cohabiting, cult TV and the Saturday\u00a0Guardian<\/em>: a newspaper that was the lynchpin of a way of life, shorthand for everything that mattered: London, media, culture, aspirational cooking, irony.<\/p>

\"men's<\/figure>

We didn\u2019t watch loads of TV, but what we did was almost exactly what Brooker wrote about in \u201cScreen Burn\u201d (with the exception of\u00a0The Apprentice<\/em>, which I could never stomach). It wasn\u2019t a matter of seeking out shows he reviewed, more that he unerringly targeted the excruciating and gawp-worthy. Which we liked for those precise reasons.<\/p>

Finding\u00a0Dawn of the Dumb<\/em>\u00a0amidst the pile of discarded holiday reads in the foyer of our building was like discovering a time capsule. It took me back to an innocent time when the prospect of David Cameron as prime minister was just a horrible fantasy, and\u00a0Big Brother<\/em>\u00a0still launched careers (if you can call them that). To my surprise, I still remembered most of the\u00a0BB\u00a0<\/em>contestants he skewers, not to mention various\u00a0X-Factor\u00a0<\/em>one-hit wonders.<\/p>

Brooker makes it worth revisiting. He can make almost anything funnier and more vivid than real life. Take his description of Glastonbury music festival:<\/p>

Once you\u2019re in, the sheer scale of it is initially overwhelming. Imagine forcing the cast of <\/em>Emmerdale to hurriedly construct Las Vegas at gunpoint in the rain. Then do it again. And once more for luck. That\u2019s Glastonbury: a cross between a medieval refugee camp and a recently detonated circus.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>

As a veteran Glasto-goer, I promise that is the best description of it you will ever read.<\/p>

I also watched the pilot of\u00a0Prison Break<\/em>, which he summarises thusly:<\/p>

Prison Break\u00a0is possibly the dumbest story ever told. It makes <\/em>24 look like\u00a0cin\u00e9ma v\u00e9rit\u00e9. It\u2019s as realistic as a cotton-wool tiger riding a tractor through a teardrop. I\u2019ve played abstract Japanese platform games with more convincing storylines.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>

Brooker writes like a butcher dismembering a cow and most of the time his (metaphorical) knife is hacking at a hapless reality show contestant or D-list presenter. Not, you might think, of a piece with Chodron\u2019s all-embracing gentleness.<\/p>

Yet through them both runs a thread of intense compassion. Brooker\u2019s rage isn\u2019t at individuals, per se, it\u2019s at the cruelty, greed or stupidity they manifest on TV. His purest vitriol is aimed at psychics that prey on the \u201cgrieving and desperate\u201d. No matter how artfully furious, his columns boil down to one message:\u00a0<\/p>

The world\u2019s a mess, people are a mess, we need to be better and nicer to each other if we\u2019re going to get through<\/em>.<\/p><\/div>

Charlie Brooker may disagree with this characterisation of his intent, but read the books: it\u2019s there. Like Chodron, he believes people can be better if they just\u00a0wake up<\/em>. His method is\u00a0bucket of ice over the head accompanied by a swift kick to the kidneys<\/em>\u00a0versus her\u00a0cultivate mindfulness and be friendly to yourself<\/em>\u00a0but they point the same direction.<\/p>

This proves Chodron\u2019s point about brilliance\/craziness. There is no single right way to do things. You can sit in meditation and learn to love each out-breath. You can also sit, shrieking, in front of crap TV. It\u2019s not just what you do \u2014 it is the intent and spirit in which it is done.<\/p>

The corollary to that is you can\u00a0learn<\/em>\u00a0from all sorts of things. Laughing till I cried over\u00a0Dawn of the Dumb<\/em>\u00a0was as mind-altering as mulling\u00a0The Wisdom of No Escape<\/em>. <\/p>

Don\u2019t shut things down, both counsel.<\/em> Keep your eyes and mind wide open, and try to laugh.<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
