In this week’s Mix Tape on the Kenyon Review blog: Nick Flynn on seeing his life’s most painful moments re-enacted (by Robert De Niro, Julianne Moore, and Paul Dano) in the movie adaptation of his memoir; Kevin Prufer on sentimentality and complexity; a look at some puzzling aspects of writing (What do I include in my residency application? How do I know when to stop revising? Why don’t more literary magazines pay their contributors?); and more tidbits worth a read.
