“Enthusiasm makes up for a host of deficiencies.”
Barack Obama, A Promised Land

Elizabeth Hardwick
“I was immensely moved by this novel when I read it recently and yet I cannot think of anything to say about it except that it is wonderful. The people are not characters, there is no plot in the usual sense. What can you bring to bear: verisimilitude — to what? You can merely say over and over that it is very good, very beautiful, that when you were reading it you were happy.”
Elizabeth Hardwick, Seduction and Betrayal
