    To value the tradition of, and the discipline required for, the craft of fiction seems today pointless. The real Arcadia is a lonely, mountainous plateau, overbouldered and strewn with the skulls of sheep slain for vellum and old bitten pinions that tried to be quills. It’s forty rough miles by mule from Athens, a city where there’s a fair, a movie house, cotton candy.
    Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)

    “My author and disposer, what thou biddest
    Unargued I obey; so God ordains,
    God is thy law, thou mine: to know no more
    Is woman’s happiest knowledge and her praise.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
