The Little Bookstore of Big Stone Gap was among the funniest books I’ve ever read.
Among my favorite quotes:
1. When talking about Moby-Dick, she said, “Don’t call me, Ishmael.”
2. When she wrote a brief review of The Tropics of Cancer, she told readers and authors: “Just because no one understands you doesn’t make you an author, and writing about sex doesn’t automatically make you interesting.”
