Everybody Wauls to Be an Author By CYNTHIA LOWBY AT NmfwXrn Writer A waiter was fired (rem a New York restaurant Hia boae-when the waiter appealed? said the fel low apeot more time eyeing ctu laHti coldly and making notes thai he did slinging escargots ? la bourgogne (It was a very nice restaurant) Seems the man waa gathering material tor a book. Twice in two dayi, lately, I've hoes a paaaenger In taxla when the cabbies, without urging, con fided to me that they had both written hooka of their experiences driving around the city. One fel low wondered If it meant a cer tain publisher had accepted his IW1 ?? ? A Manuscript when it hadnl been returned within two weeks. The other wanted to know it 1 knew Ike name of a food publisher, be cause HIS manuscript had just come back with a rejection slip. I know a hairdresser who rushes home after putting the last pin curt in place and notes down all the gossip and bl( names he's heard all day He's getting ready to do a memoirs. Ball players, tennis players, theatrical people, impoverished nobility, ladies who have married famous men, men who have married famous ladies, ?tevedores, hotel keepers, jail birds, all the politician;* and the Roosevelts apparently are bending over (teaming hot typewriters, pouring out their souls It seems years since I've met anyone who didnt have a book in the process of creation. Fortu nately, we've seen the end of the cycle of war correspondenta' books. The ex-war correspondents ?eem to be the ones who now take a quick 10-day look-around in the scenes of past glory and return to write a definitive ex pose of conditions.

They just read over their old pieces, and paste a selection of them together with explanatory Introductions oa bow come they wrote them. Lo, they have books wider their belti Indisputsbly It's smart to be the author of a book today. Bat things also are oomlag to the point where book-writing primarily is an occupation Id non-writers. The business of putting thoughts on paper seems to be ooe of a very few occupations which requires little or no prior preparation. If you're ah anthropologist who's discovered a new recipe for shrinking head*, or a celebrity hunter with a memory for anec dote. all you have to do is rent a portable and start sorting out adjectives. That makes you an author. Of courae, fiction remains a field open to professional writers alone. It's a rare autobiographist who ventures into the plot-and climax area where one la judged by one't handiwork alone. An ex ception is a woman who wrote her memoirs, and then had to turn all the "! said" place into "Jane said," and swing a lot of real names into made-up ones. The reaaoa was that her publishers were afraid of libel suits. But the book hssn't gone so well. Somebody said that every living soul has at least one book In him. It seems to me that before more than a couple of years are past, there will be very few people left with said stories simmering and seething in their minda. Publish ers will run out of rejection slips, and the pifblic will be surfeit of personal story, personal opinion and interpretation. Then will come the day when we'll return to professionals of the pen and pencil, whose whole training is to turn out an imper sonal, entertaining story. Meanwhile, it's pretty embar rassing lor anyone who has any connection with the writing busi ness to admit one never has man aged to whip out at least 80,000 words sround a single subject Thank goodness, the newspaper business remains full of dreamy souls who always are going to write a book ? tomorrow.
