Suppose a Sentence by Brian Dillon
4.0
Twenty seven sentences, characteristically singled out from many of remarkable authors, and some that allows a certain retrospect and analysis beyond the tangent of the author's own interpretation, which is insightful and amusingly delightful.
"Traditions of Air" by John Ruskin, "A Ritual Feat" by Annie Dillard, and "The Cunning of Destruction" were the ones that served the apt curiosity and mostly, profound excitement, for they allow a certain self-introspect in analytic quality and tender literation in just a sentence. Others serve its justice in providing its distinctive details about authors that we may never come to notice nor assume.
Dillon clones profiles of his preferred writers, some inviting enough to pursue, others to flee from at once. Either way, the profiles are vivid, sticky and always manage to find a memorable, if difficult, phrase that opens a door to meandering thought.
