Daily Dose

From Avowals and Denials, by G. K. Chesterton

IN THEORY

"In theory, at least, there is nothing to prevent a modern story from wandering like Gil Blas or sprawling like Tristram Shandy; and other causes must be blamed if it does not walk or wander so elegantly as the one or sprawl so exuberantly as the other."

From On the Letter-Bag Novel
