"I could cry." Alexandra said sincerely, he had stirred such memories within her, and such inklings of her future; music lights up with its pulsing lamp the cave of our being. -- John Updike, The Witches of Eastwick --
I am reading this right now!?!? Although the third person narration means I can only read 5 pages at a time. Updike is so 19th century with his 3rd person and he will never be thought off as a great writer because of it. He is about a generation away from the dustbin of history.
