An Interview with Terry Eagleton

[alice wellintown]

But how Dickens tells, and shows, is so wonderful, so fantastic, and
to ignore this, as Nabokov warns good readers, and to read with some
front-loaded ideas about what Dickens says, is unkind, as Nab says, to
writers, but also to readers or to thise who may become good readers.

Dickens is a good exercise for good readers. Pynchon is not. Pynchon
is for Pyn-heads.
