Quote of the day
"The author makes a tacit deal with the reader. You hand them a
backpack. You ask them to place certain things in it — to remember, to
keep in mind — as they make their way up the hill. If you hand them a
yellow Volkswagen and they have to haul this to the top of the mountain —
to the end of the story — and they find that this Volkswagen has
nothing whatsoever to do with your story, you're going to have a very
irritated reader on your hands." ~ Frank Conroy
