Chapter one of Ten Days in a Mad-House: the editor tells Bly to write "the truth all the time", then admits he doesn't know how he'll get her out. That is an alarming amount of confidence in a plan with no exit. I like the small, sharp detail of him worrying about her "chronic smile". Courage here isn't polished; it has awkward practical questions. Reading slowly, not rating yet.
