| Statement on writing |
"Writing is the
process of evoking words about the human condition and the planet
assigned to us. Sometimes the writer poses the problems and
sometimes the problem has been posed by someone else.
Nevertheless, the writer does his damnedest to solve it. Sometimes
the writer simply provides pauses to consider the importance of our
experience." |
| Biography |
James B. Goode was
born in a four-room coal camp house in a mining camp owned by the
Wisconson Steel Division on International Harvester. He attended a
company-owned school, lived in a company-owned house, bought from a
company-owned store, went to a company-owned theater, and was surrounded
by company-owned people throughout his childhood. Instead of
following his father and grandfather down into the darkness of the
mines, Goode attended college--first at the Southeast Community College,
then at the University of Kentucky, the University of Detroit, and the
University of Chicago. Since then, he has taught at Southeast
Community College. When he is not concentrating on his writing and
teaching, Goode pursues book collecting and photography |
