In last week’s Muse there I quoted a writer writing about a fictional writer. Here’s a quotation in the same vein from another favorite book:
“She was touched by his delicacy. Maybe this is what an artist is, she thought. It reminded her of something she’d once read, about how an artist doesn’t really need a great deal of experience. One heartbreak can produce many novels. But you have to have a heart that can break.” –Starting Out in the Evening
MAD about Words
is the brainchild (and heartchild) of
Mary Ann de Stefano
