I’m a great fan of packing maximum meaning and imagery into minimum wordspace. Here’s a great sentence farther down his page, as he’s debunking someone’s complaints in their To Kill A Mockingbird review: “Not a single one of these rusty iron arrows connects.” Not only does the writer not connect, but he was woefully underequipped to even try.
