“Next time, said the Inventor, a woman will be added. Beauty is easy to render because beauty is based on the rendering of beauty, but we are still working on her hips, we want her to roll them, and that is difficult.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (18991977)
“Life, as the most ancient of all metaphors insists, is a journey; and the travel book, in its deceptive simulation of the journeys fits and starts, rehearses lifes own fragmentation. More even than the novel, it embraces the contingency of things.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
