From High Spirits: A Collection of Ghost Stories, by Robertson Davies

THROW AN ORANGE

"If you were to throw an orange in any English graduate seminar you would hit a foetal Henry James, or an embryo James Joyce; road-company Northrop Fryes and Hallowwe'en versions of Marshal McLuhan are to be found everywhere."

From Dickens Digested
