Department of Exciting Literary Developments

Mike Schilling says:

I’m both tremendously excited and a bit apprehensive. The two-volume autobiography edited by Albert Bigelow Paine (which I presume is either one or two of the “three previous books described as “autobiographies”) was a rambling mess, organized (if that’s the word) by

a deliberate system, and the law of the system is that I shall talk about the matter which for the moment interests me, and cast it aside and talk about something else the moment its interest for me is exhausted.

But of course I’ll buy it the first day it’s out.Report
