One of my favorite writers, Flanneryo 'connor, wrote in a letter to a friend: "from 15 to 18 is an age at which one is very sensitive to the SINS of others, as I know from recollections of myself."
"How we did adore and envy them, the idols of our college years-hemingway and Faulkner, Frost and Eliot, Mary McCarthy and Flanneryo 'connor and Eudora Welty!" wrote John Updike.
