Patricia Hampl Quotes

If Nobody Talks About Books, If They Are Not Discussed Or Somehow Contended With, Literature Ceases To Be A Conversation, Ceases To Be Dynamic. Most Of All, It Ceases To Be Intimate. It Degenerates Into A Monologue Or A Mutter. An Unreviewed Book Is A Struck Bell That Gives No Resonance. Without Reviews, Literature Would Be Oddly Mute In Spite Of All Those Words On All Those Pages Of All Those Books. Reviewing Makes Of Reading A Participant Sport, Not A Spectator Sport.
