QuotationEating supper I finished Cesare Pavese's The House on the Hill. Marvelous writing! A beautiful book! Then I went out and read a French translation of AI Ghazali's Error and Deliverance which is also a magnificent book, one of the greatest! I am beginning, in spite of myself, Pavese's Among Women Only. Fantastic stuff! What a writer!
