Thanks to a decade of skilled, scholarly labour, a comprehensive collection of quotations by Canada’s world-renowned literary critic has been published.
I love quotations and aphorisms and enjoy rolling them around in my mind. More than mental candies (although they can be yummy), good ones stimulate fresh thinking and mean different things in different situations.
Quote books often draw from many authors. Northrop Frye is exceptional in providing so much material from a single brain. This collection will provide years of pondering on a wide variety of subjects.
