[PSUBS-MAILIST] Kurson: Shadow Divers
Very sincere thanks to whoever recommended Kurson's book _Shadow
Divers_. I downloaded a text file of it (it will be months before any
printed copy reaches me here in northern Mindanao), and it is a treat.
Just as well I believed the list member who recommended it, and not the
review that I read later; the reviewer classified it as "young adult"
literature and made it sound like a science project report. Instead, it
contains gems of English prose like the following:
"Shipwrecks are where the food chain poses for a snapshot."
Thomas Wolfe couldn't do better, in my opinion. I have made the grave
error of beginning to read it - you know, just to get the flavor. Now
it's cutting into my translation work.
Best to all,
Marc de Piolenc
