The author of The Art of Intimacy asks eight legendary artists: What has sustained you in the long run? How do we keep doing this—making art? Stacey D'Erasmo had been writing for twenty years and had published three novels when she asked herself this question. She was past the rush of her first books and wondering what to expect—how to stay alive in her vocation—in the decades ahead.
