...feel for the rough edges, the incomplete thoughts, and the out-and-out failures to appreciate what a writer does at his best. As for Joyce's "anythings," Ellmann chose the letters for this collection mostly on the basis of their general interest. And the interest never seems to sag just paging through these letters. Still, readers might rightfully doubt if they can do justice to what Ellmann calls "Joyce's principal assertions of his character and of his literary aims...
...rounds, three separate battles were fought. The first three rounds belonged to Ali. He landed clean, quick, stinging shots that made Frazier sag, and he blunted Frazier's headlong attack by blocking punches as he backed against the ropes.

Like most of Pinter, it doesn't offer what many theater-goers consider the chief rewards of drama--confrontation, character development, eloquence. Pinter's meanings are usually clear and worth discovering, but sometimes his plays sag. If the cast and director bring subtlety and understated power to the production, though, it can hardly lose.
