Karen Joy Fowler Quote
Dean coughed helpfully. Somewhere in the cough was the word persuasion. He was throwing Mo a lifeline.Mo preferred to go down. I haven’t actually read any Austen. I’m more into mysteries, crime fiction, courtroom stuff. This was disappointing, but not damning. On the other hand it was a failing; on the other, manfully owned up to. If only Mo had stopped there.I don’t read much women’s stuff. I like a good plot, he said.Prudie finished her drink and set her glass down so hard you could hear it hit. Austen can plot like a son of a bitch, she said. Bernadette, I believe you were telling us about your first husband.I could start with my second. Or the one after that, Bernadette offered. Down with plot! Down with Mo!
