Lucia Berlin’s Roving, Rowdy Life Is Reflected in a Book of Her Stories. (The New York Times, 8/16/2015)

“In order to write about life, first you must live it.” That’s often attributed to Hemingway, and he would have applauded Lucia Berlin, who made fiction from her life and had a surplus of raw material.
On the other hand, Bret Anthony Johnson sez "Don't Write What You Know".
But then what the hell does he know?
