At Cornell University, my professor of European literature, Vladimir Nabokov, changed the way I read and the way I write. Words could paint pictures, I learned from him. Choosing the right word, and the right word order, he illustrated, could make an enormous difference in conveying an image or an idea.

Once you've wrestled, everything else in life is easy...The more I see of deer, the more I admire them...Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius...We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant...Tiny slices, no frosting, forty-five minutes...You may call God love, you may call God goodness...
