• I had a happy, dramafree youth, growing up in an upper-middle-class neighborhood in Dallas, Texas. The only thing that was slightly unusual compared to most of my friends was that I was an only child... I don't think that's why my parents gave me a dummy, at least they've never copped to it.

• I think the working-class part of me comes out. Sometimes the people who have the loudest mouths are upper-class, upper-middle-class. The quietest are often working-class people, people who are broke. There is a fear of losing whatever it is that you have. I come from that background.

• Excellent Sheep dejará huella por tres razones. En primer lugar, el Sr. Deresiewicz pasó veinticuatro años en la Ivy League, se licenció en Columbia y enseñó durante una década en Yale. Dos, el autor es un delantero, por decirlo en términos futbolísticos. Es un escritor vívido, un crítico literario cuyos remates de cabeza tienden a aterrizar en la esquina posterior de la red. Tres, su acusación llega sobre ruedas: El libro del Sr. Deresiewicz está lleno de lo que él quiere más de la vida americana: rareza apasionada.

• Me enseñaron que las velas son como los gatos domésticos: versiones domesticadas de algo salvaje y peligroso. No hay forma de saber cuánto de ese instinto asesino acecha en la oscuridad. Solía pensar que la paranoia de la quema de casas era el resultado de algún temor de clase media alta ante la posible destrucción de una casa de Westchester de medio millón de dólares del tamaño de una caja de cerillas. Pero luego me di cuenta de que el miedo se debía a algo mucho menos complejo: no estamos acostumbrados al fuego. Las velas son un elemento básico de la existencia judaica y, como muchos residentes de los suburbios antes que nosotros, somos bastante malos judíos.

• I think that Indian writing in English is a really peculiar beast. I can't think of any literature - perhaps Russian literature in the nineteenth century comes close - so exclusively produced by and closely identified with a tiny but powerful ruling elite, the upper-caste, Anglophone upper middle class, and dependent for so long on book buyers and readers elsewhere.

• Stuff Happens.’ That’s the G-rated version. That’s a bumper sticker that only a straight white upper middle class male could have made. Because anyone who isn’t straight, anyone who isn’t male, anyone who isn’t white, anyone who isn’t upper middle class knows that stuff doesn’t just happen. Stuff gets done by people to people. Nothing is a coincidence. Nothing is random. This isn’t osmosis. And so we act as if it’s this passive thing, but yet that’s not the case.
