What's for Dinner? James Schuyler (best inspirational books TXT) 📖

when represented in fiction (and especially poignantly in the poet’s confessional novel), becomes, at its most optimistic, the scenario of which What’s for Dinner? is a keen example. “Their neurotic sufferings ameliorated, they lived ordinarily unhappily ever after.” Ought to be enough for anybody.

—JAMES McCOURT
