Quote of the Day
“A story is not like a
road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a
while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how
the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered
by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are
altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy
or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back
again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw
the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its
own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you.”
Alice Munro, 2013 Nobel
Prize winner
