Joe Dunthorne Quotes
I Am In Awe Of Sam's Decision To Abandon Capitals And Punctuation But Am Not Brave Enough To Do The Same. I Like To Imagine The Day He, As The Americans Say, Made The Change He Wished To See In The World. I Like To Think It Came To Him Suddenly. Perhaps He Was Swimming - No, Too Active - Or Napping Indoors On A Hot Day - No, Too Bourgeois - Probably He Was In Scotland During The Midge Season And He Left The Desk Lamp On And The Window Open When He Went Out For A Meaningful Walk. It Was Dark And The Midges Were Drawn To The Lamplight And - Thinking It Was The Moon - Fried Themselves Against The Bulb, Falling In Their Tens And Tens, Cooked On The Pages Of Sam's Poems. So When He Returned Some Time Later, With Bites On His Neck, He Found His Poems Loaded With Punctuation, Asterisks, Grammar Lying Dead On His Manuscript And His Instant Reaction Was Disgust, A Feeling That Then Infected His Whole Aesthetic.
