Paul Auster Quotes
At Any Given Moment, Four Or Five Separate Dialogues Were Going On Across The Table, But Because People Weren't Necessarily Talking To The Person Next To Them, These Dialogues Kept Intersecting With One Another, Causing Abrupt Shifts In The Pairings Of The Speakers, So That Everyone Seemed To Be Taking Part In All The Conversations At The Same Time, Simultaneously Chattering Away About His Or Her Own Life And Eavesdropping On Everyone Else As Well. Add To This The Frequent Interruptions From The Children, The Coming And Goings Of The Different Courses, The Pouring Of Wine, The Dropped Plates, Overturned Glasses, And Spilled Condiments, The Dinner Began To Resemble An Elaborate, Hastily Improvised Vaudeville Routine.
