There must be a magnificent disregard of your reader, for if he cannot follow you, there is nothing you can do about it.

Dorothy ParkerYou donโt want a general houseworker, do you? Or a traveling companion, quiet, refined, speaks fluent French entirely in the present tense? Or an assistant billiard-maker? Or a private librarian? Or a lady car-washer? Because if you do, I should appreciate your giving me a trial at the job. Any minute now, I am going to become one of the Great Unemployed. I am about to leave literature flat on its face. I donโt want to review books any more. It cuts in too much on my reading.
