the case that all modern American literature
-
comes from Huckleberry Finn.

- You box? - No. Not really. No.
-
What're you writing?
-
- A novel. - 'Bout what?
-
It's about a man who works in a nostalgia shop.
-
What the hell is a nostalgia shop?
-
A place where they sell old things. Memorabilia.
-
and... Does that sound terrible?
-
No subject is terrible if the story is true,
-
If the prose is clean and honest,
-
and if it affirms grace and courage under pressure.
