Letter "R" » Renata Adler Quotes
«In the strange heat all litigation brings to bear on things, the very process of litigation fosters the most profound misunderstandings in the world.»
«The writer has a grudge against society, which he documents with accounts of unsatisfying sex, unrealized ambition, unmitigated loneliness, and a sense of local and global distress. The square, overpopulation, the bourgeois, the bomb and the cocktail party are variously identified as sources of the grudge. There follows a little obscenity here, a dash of philosophy there, considerable whining overall, and a modern satirical novel is born.»
