Don't you think American women's writing is deteriorating? Here's what I do now.
"The next line was crossed out, scratched out viciously, and the rest of the page was blank. I listened in the direction of the kitchen. Through the closed door I could hear Robert's former wife moving something - a stool dragged across linoleum, a cupboard door being opened and shut. I folded the page into thirds and put it in my inside jacket pocket."
How sad is that?
