美国国家公共电台 NPR Mall Of America Searches For Writer-In-Residence
时间：2019-01-16 作者：英语课 分类：2017年NPR美国国家公共电台2月
AUDIE CORNISH, HOST:
Who says nobody dreams big anymore?
MATT NEGRIN: I want to write about what it's like to never leave the Mall of America.
ARI SHAPIRO, HOST:
That's Matt Negrin. He's a comedy writer in New York. This week, he learned that there is a job just right for him at this country's largest mall, the Mall of America.
CORNISH: Dan Jasper is vice 1 president there.
DAN JASPER: We're having a writer-in-residence contest.
CORNISH: The mall turns 25 this summer, and they're hiring a writer-in-residence as part of the celebration. They already have 500 entries.
SHAPIRO: As Thoreau once took inspiration from Walden Pond, one lucky writer will have the chance to go to the mall and live deliberately 2.
JASPER: Have five days on the mall. They can interact with shoppers or ride a roller coaster or swim with sharks, be immersed into the life and the excitement of the mall and get to write whatever they really feel like that pertains 3 somehow to Mall of America.
CORNISH: Writer Matt Negrin put one additional condition on his application.
NEGRIN: I want to make sure, should you select me as your writer-in-residence, that a security guard is assigned to my person 24 hours a day. Not to protect me, but to stop me from trying to escape the Mall of America.
SHAPIRO: One note. The terms and conditions say that the writer's work must not be inaccurate 4, derogatory, incompatible 5 with, inconsistent with or otherwise contradictory 6 to the Mall of America's desired presentation. Art isn't easy.
CORNISH: The application closes March 10. Good luck.
