Jabari Asim Quotes

• If you'd like to meet some fully realized characters while learning some specifics of Zimbabwe's postcolonial struggles, as I did, you're likely to come away with a vague feeling of dissatisfaction. If you're willing to settle for first-rate writing and provocative meditations on memory, corruption and loss, they are all here in abundance.

• I am always amazed by the novel angles that people come up with for kids' Christmas books. Even if a family is not religious, who could resist, say, "Olive, the Other Reindeer," about Olive the dog who thinks the song refers to her and heads for the North Pole to help Santa out?

• Creo que la moda de los autores famosos refleja, al menos en parte, la creciente influencia de los departamentos de marketing de las editoriales. El énfasis se pone en la venta fácil, frente a la búsqueda de la mejor calidad y la escritura y la ilustración. Hay excepciones (me gusta lo que hace John Lithgow, por ejemplo), pero una gran parte es pútrida, y lo mejor a menudo está escrito por fantasmas. Ahorra tinta. Salvemos los árboles. Salvemos nuestras neuronas.
