Dear M.,
Here is a famous writer quote:
The task of an American writer is not to describe the misgivings of a woman taken in adultery as she looks out of a window at the rain but to describe four hundred people under the lights reaching for a foul ball. This is ceremony.
–John Cheever
To which I say: SHENANIGANS.
Yours,
CF

Four hundred reaching for a foul ball is possibly the most boring thing I can imagine reading about. Unless it’s told from four hundred different perspectives or something.
