Quote of the Day (Philip Roth, on Fiction and Autobiography)
"I write fiction and I’m told it’s
autobiography, I write autobiography and I’m told it’s fiction, so since I’m so
dim and they’re so smart, let them decide what it is or it isn’t." ―Philip
Roth, Deception: A Novel (1990)
I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand
