Some years ago Chang-Rae Lee visited one of my classes and remarked, "I'm a writer; I like sentences." I'm a reader and editor, and I like sentences too. I thought of Chang's remark as I finished Willa Cather's My Antonia today, which ends with this:
"Whatever we had missed, we possessed together the precious, the incommunicable past."

Mr. Weber, I remember when Chang-Rae Lee came to Exeter. That's a great quote! I am glad I discovered your blog when your turtle post on facebook led me to your page. I'll subscribe. Shannon Guy 04
