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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe began to interview older artists she admired to find out how they'd done it. She talked to Valda Setterfield about her sixty-year career that took her from the Merce Cunningham Dance Company to theatrical collaborations with her husband to roles in films. She talked to Samuel R. Delany about his vast oeuvre of books in many genres. She talked to Amy Sillman about working between painting and other media and between abstraction and figuration. She talked to landscape architect Darrel Morrison, composer Tania Léon, actress Blair Brown, and musician Steve Earle, and started to see connections between them and to artists across time: Colette, David Bowie, Ruth Asawa. She found insights in own experience, about what has driven and thwarted and shaped her as a writer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInstead of easy answers or a road map, \u003ci\u003eThe Long Run \u003c\/i\u003eoffers one practitioner's conversations, anecdotes, confidences, and observations about sustaining a creative life. Along the way, it radically redefines artistic success, shifting the focus from novelty and output and external recognition toward freedom, fluidity, resistance, community, and survival.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStacey D'Erasmo \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eTea\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Seahorse Year\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Sky Below\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWonderland\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Complicities\u003c\/i\u003e and the nonfiction book \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Intimacy\u003c\/i\u003e.
