Sentences with sinkholes

'He wrote perfect sentences, too, but very direct, very complicated. Sentences with sinkholes. You could drown in them. i wouldn't dare to write one. I'm not sure I'd dare to read James again. I loved those novels so much that I was paralyzed by them for a long time. All those possibilities. All that perfectly reconcile style. it made me afraid to put words down.'

Joan Didion on Henry James
