After Offill’s Dept of Speculation, Adler’s Pitch Dark is like hot chocolate on my favourite cake. Trying to get to know her more, came across with this interview. To quote Adler: ”I received a review once by a poet, a really good poet, who said, “This person writes so badly that it sets your teeth on edge.” Then she quoted what I wrote. And I thought, “Well, those quotes are fair, if someone doesn’t like them, they won’t like the book. That writing, as it happens, is the best I can do.” What set her teeth on edge were some of my favorites lines. So that was better than fair. It was lucky. What isn’t fair is unsupported, adjectival, personal, insulting.” What i can say is this person writes in a way that it sets my teeth on edge.
