Famous quotes containing the words novels, traffic and/or series:

    “Fathers and Sons is not only the best of Turgenev’s novels, it is one of the most brilliant novels of the nineteenth century. Turgenev managed to do what he intended to do, to create a male character, a young Russian, who would affirm his—that character’s—absence of introspection and at the same time would not be a journalist’s dummy of the socialistic type.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “To treat a “big” subject in the intensely summarized fashion demanded by an evening’s traffic of the stage when the evening, freely clipped at each end, is reduced to two hours and a half, is a feat of which the difficulty looms large.”
    —Henry James (1843–1916)

    “Every day the fat woman dies a series of small deaths.”
    —Shelley Bovey, U.S. author. Being Fat Is Not a Sin, ch. 1 (1989)
