Quote of the Day (Ian Frazier, on That Romantic Triangle, Post-‘Casablanca’)
“December
10.
Mrs. Laszlo still does not seem to be her old self—I’m not sure why. Last night
in her sleep, she kept saying something like ‘Looking at you kids’ over and
over. Once, I heard her say, distinctly, ‘Here’s looking at Yul, kid!’ Who
could that be? Yul Brynner? How does she know him? Then she woke up, saw me,
and burst into tears.”— Ian Frazier, “Shouts and Murmurs: Victor Laszlo’s Blog,” The
New Yorker, Sept. 18, 2017
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
