I was calling to arrange a visit to Princeton, N.J., where McPhee lives and teaches writing. McPhee is now 86 years old, and each of those years seems to be filed away inside of him, loaded with information, ready to access. When you call John McPhee on the phone, he is instantly John McPhee.
The picnic party rode to the top, McPhee said, on the incline railway, an old-timey conveyance that has been out of operation for nearly 40 years, and which now marks the landscape only as a ruin: abandoned tracks running up a scar on the mountain’s face, giant gears rusting in the old powerhouse at the top. He proceeded to tell me a story of the time he had a picnic at the top of our local mountain, with a small party that included the wife of Alger Hiss, the former United States official who, at the height of McCarthyism, was disgraced by allegations of spying for the Russians. I told him the name of my town, about 100 miles away.“I’ve been there,” McPhee said, with the mild surprise of someone who has just found a $5 bill in a coat pocket. He asked where I was coming from.
Literature has always sought transcendence in purportedly trivial subjects — “a world in a grain of sand,” as Blake put it — but few have ever pushed the impulse further than McPhee. His mind is pure curiosity: It aspires to flow into every last corner of the world, especially the places most of us overlook. These were things I had not known about a structure that is visible from my house, that I look at every day of my life.McPhee has built a career on such small detonations of knowledge.
For McPhee’s 80th birthday, friends, family and colleagues arranged a big tribute to his life and work. He got word that he won the Pulitzer while he was in the middle of teaching a class, during a break, and he returned and taught the whole second half without mentioning it to his students — they learned about it only afterward, when the hall outside was crowded with photographers, reporters and people waiting to congratulate him. Not one of his book jackets has ever carried an author photo. (“At any location on earth, as the rock record goes down into time and out into earlier geographies it touches upon tens of hundreds of stories, wherein the face of the earth often changed, changed utterly, and changed again, like the face of a crackling fire.”) He has now published 30 books, all of which are still in print — a series of idiosyncratic tributes to the world that, in aggregate, form a world unto themselves.McPhee describes himself as “shy to the point of dread.” He is allergic to publicity. In 1999, McPhee won a Pulitzer Prize for his 700-page geology collection, “Annals of the Former World,” which explains for the general reader how all of North America came to exist.
Almost everyone expressed surprise that he had agreed to such a thing. McPhee has profiled hundreds but never been profiled. “You can’t celebrate somebody who doesn’t want to be celebrated,” he told me.As I spoke to people about McPhee — editors, students, friends, colleagues — I got the sense that they had all been waiting, respectfully, for decades for the chance to gush about him in public. Bill Bradley, the former basketball star and United States senator who was the subject of McPhee’s first book, “A Sense of Where You Are,” was one of the organizers.
William Zinsser: “It was hard and lonely, and the words seldom just flowed.” Annie Dillard: “I do not so much write a book as sit up with it, as with a dying friend.” Anne Lamott: “Your mind has become a frog brain that scientists have saturated with caffeine.”McPhee embraces this tradition. This is one of the genre’s great comforts: learning that you are not alone in your suffering. Not just the technical problems (eliminating clutter, composing transitions) but the great existential agony and heebie-jeebies and humiliation involved — the inability to start, to finish, or to progress in the middle. It is about the writing process itself.Every book about writing addresses, in one way or another, the difficulty of writing. 4,” takes us about as deep into his singular mind as we are likely to get. McPhee’s new book, “Draft No.
He sweats and frets over the arrangement of a composition before he can begin writing. McPhee is obsessed with structure. “Structure has preoccupied me in every project,” he writes, which is as true as saying that Ahab, on his nautical adventures, was preoccupied by a certain whale. 4,” McPhee writes of his “inability to get going until 5 in the afternoon” and his “animal sense of being hunted.” And yet this doubt, he writes, “is a part of the picture — important and inescapable.”Much of the struggle, for McPhee, has to do with structure.
I wanted razzle-dazzle, jokes, aphorisms, fireworks displays. It is like Morse code: a message communicated by gaps.The first time I read “The Pine Barrens,” McPhee’s 1968 novella-length portrait of an ecologically odd region of southern New Jersey where forests of dwarf pine trees grow out of sandy soil, its opening paragraph struck me as unnecessarily dull. What a more ordinary writer might say directly, McPhee will express through the white space between chapters or an odd juxtaposition of sentences. Structure, in McPhee’s writing, carries as much meaning as the words themselves.
Come on the hell in,” he shouts.I didn’t discover the answer until the book’s end, some 150 pages later. Almost immediately after that hiking-guide of an opening, “The Pine Barrens” unleashes all kinds of color and legend and bizarre characters, including a deep-woods cranberry farmer who invites McPhee into his shack while eating a pork chop in his underwear. ” This goes on for several pages, at which point I imagine some readers wandering off for a walk in an actual forest.Why start there? McPhee can do razzle-dazzle. Occasionally, there are long, dark, serrated stands of Atlantic white cedars. The trees are mainly oaks and pines, and the pines predominate.
The region, in other words, is under threat, and McPhee, by introducing us to its creatures and lore, has made us care.“Draft No. Supersonic jets will whisk people away to everywhere else on earth. McPhee stands there, this time, with a city planner, who fantasizes aloud about a thrilling future in which the Pine Barrens will be paved over, replaced not only with a city but also with the largest airport in the world.
When he is writing, he does not teach. During a semester when he teaches, McPhee does no writing at all. This imposes a rigid structure on his life.
The poster is so old that its color has faded.David Remnick, the editor of The New Yorker, where McPhee has been a staff writer for more than 50 years, took McPhee’s class in 1981. McPhee refers to it as “a portrait of the writer at work.” It is a print in the style of Hieronymus Bosch of sinners, in the afterlife, being elaborately tortured in the nude — a woman with a sword in her back, a small crowd sitting in a vat of liquid pouring out of a giant nose, someone riding a platypus.
