Hi, writing from France.
My husband is a painter and a fan of Buk. He his publishing a catalogue of some of his paintings where he quotes Buk.
As we want to be really accurate can you help us with the translation.
First quote: Letter to Stephen Kessler - January 15, 1985
Paragraph before last: I would translate something like :eek: "What is essential about writing is writing and not talking about writing"
Second quote : Letter to William Packard - March 12 1989
Long paragraph before last. Two last lines. That approximately says :eek:"By this, I don't want to say that we should consider our work like something "saint" of serious, but simply as the best thing to do.. So why not do it"
I don't think I can give more details as this is the French edition of Buk's letters and it's all in one book.
In any case thanks,
Cat
