I wanted to look at how people deal with death ... Why is Henry Kissinger not in jail and Charles Manson is? Picture Quote #1

One lesson I learned from ‘The Monstrumologist’ was never to get too attached to your own characters. That’s harder in practice than in theory. At the end of the third book - which coincided with the end of my contract - I was an emotional wreck. I mourned Will Henry and Warthrop Picture Quote #1

I have to hold a meeting with the rising generation every evening, and that takes time. Henry can say, ‘Twinkle, twinkle,’ all himself, and Edward can repeat it after his father! Giants of genius! Paragons of erudition! Picture Quote #1

Henry James was our master of periphrasis -- the fine art of saying as little as possible in the greatest number of words Picture Quote #1

She’s not dead, Henry kept telling himself. But her life, all lives, seemed tenuous when he saw how quickly, with what ease, all the trappings, all the fine details of a lifetime could be packed and scattered, or junked Picture Quote #1
