In The Words Of The Daughter ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Good writers are
essentially nutcrackers,
exposing the scandalous condition
of the human soul.

It is their job to strip veneers
from situations and personalities.
 
The rest of us accept 
our fellow human beings
at face value,
and swallow what
we can't accept.

    Reminds me of a quote at beginning of THE LAST TYCOON.
    ≈ If writers are any good, they are five people... ≈

      If you hadn't acknowledged that quote, I would have.

      The true beauty of Scottie's quote
      is that it makes her sound like
      a chip off the old block

      ALSO...I have read about 140 pages of this book
      in less than three days and it is remarkable
      how much I didn't know about
      the Fitzgerald Triumvirate
