As usual, loved the quotes. I suppose since I'm one of those scribbling females it elicited few belly laughs but it did prompt lots of wry smiles of recognition. Have a great day.

Thanks Mary! But don’t undermine your penwomanship by calling it scribbling!

Excellent piece. Might be mire surprised if I weren’t aware of who your spouse is. You are both on my list of folks I wished lived next door.

Spat out the tea I was drinking through my nose at Rebecca West!! Reminder don’t read and drink tea at the same time!

Ha! Another great Michelle Dean line describes West’s work as “ one long, run-on sentence punctuated only occasionally for want of money.”
