I love books in which the author pretends to interview long-dead people. And how, for some reason, they always take on a lofty, rhetorical tone, as if that is how the famous dead must talk. Oh, ye interviews with the dead, would but that I had words to express my ardor. "My eyes cannot see and my aching ears/ Roar in their labyrinths."
Right now reading interview with the Biblical Ruth, in some book about reader-response criticism. Trying to figure out what that is by 7:30 this evening, when I have to give a presentation on my reader-response interpretation of the first three books of Genesis.
