“Also there were people going round in such clumsy ways, stopping and starting, and hordes of schoolchildren like the ones I used to keep in order. Why so many of them and so idiotic with their yelps and yells and the redundancy, the sheer un-necessity of their existence, Everywhere an insult in your face.

As if we needed, more of life.” Nobel PrizeContemporary FictionDear LifeCanadian FictionMunro Book:Dear Life Source: Dear Life
