Well, maybe my previous responses have been a bit cavalier. Fiction is able to encompass books that are bleak and which dwell on the manifold and terrible problems of our times. But I don't think that all books need to have that particular focus. If you look at music, do we expect all composers to write dirges? The answer surely is no. There are many other emotions and moods which music can deal with or engage with. And similarly with art. With painting one would expect that there are some which are dark and gloomy and threatening and other...
...drinking again after leaving the center; he hails a cab to the bar whose title the novel bears. But the Mighty Angel is a name that Jerzy attributes to his love as well—the elusive girl in the yellow dress. The question arises whether this angel, this manifold savior, is just as fragile and just as fraught as the alcoholics that worship it.

The question now is how far we can extend our heyday of manifold projects and magnificent purposes. Golden ages and empires do come...
...teachings of Harvard are manifold. We are all student snowflakes: we each leave having learned a unique set of lessons. There are those who concentrate in Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology (is that a thing?) and there are those who concentrate in Folklore and Mythology (just kidding!). Some of us learn about history, others learn about literature, and still others learn about history and literature. Many of us leave with increased appreciation for “Lolita” and alcohol, with ineffable enmities for Henry James and sobriety (thanks DAPA!). There are even an elite few who learn...
