Daily Consumption 3-22-10

Song of the day - Samson, Regina Spektor

Passage of the day - ... if you want to deal with the slippery business of reality, truth, perception, and delusion, let a character tell your story. That would seem to describe every novel in the world, wouldn't it? But I think not. They are enough, however, to give you the general idea about character-narrators and the mischief they can create. And what do all these have in common? In every case, the innate drama of the situation would be compromised by an objective view. - How to Read Novels Like a Professor, Thomas C. Foster
