...searching for my lost youth. Please understand that while my level of understanding grows deeper each day, my connection to these texts is tenuous at best, and cannot be disturbed by such time-anchored requirements like “chapter deadlines.” I’m sure Faulkner would agree with me when I say that artists don’t have time to listen to critics like you. In fact, he may have said that himself. I can’t even remember anymore. Please see the attached 20- page sentence; I think you?...
...Clarke and Wilson would later go on to lead the Crimson’s second big sweep of the night, as Harvard swimmers captured the top four places in the 500 free. Clarke finished first in 4:57.98, Wilson second in 5:01.79, and Weisenthal and freshman Katie Faulkner in third and fourth, respectively. The members of the winning relay team also showed their prowess on the individual level, as Hart won the 100 back in 57.77 and the 200 in 2:03.83. Colling followed with a first-place finish in the 100 breaststroke in 1:05.75 and Bassi took...

The future probably belongs to the Fraziers, the entertainers, who serve up their profundities with humor and sex and fisticuffs so they go down more easily. McCarthy would never stoop to entertain us, but there's a stripped-down intensity to his work that is just awesome. You sense that The Road, with its world empty of values...
...kept to a minimum as we tour the study where she writes her novels; it's airy and messy - she and her boyfriend moved in last August, but there are still boxes on the floor. So far, you would never know that you were visiting the home of the Faulkner of awkwardness. Sittenfeld's first novel, Prep, was the sleeper hit of 2005. It tells the bittersweet, perfectly observed story of Lee, a quiet Midwestern girl who tries, with decidedly mixed results, to fit in at a breathtakingly preppy Eastern private school. To the surprise of many, not least...
