John Lahr: “I’m often drawn by tone and
by the slant of the language. The way the sentences pop. A few well-angled
sentences announce to me if this is a voice whose command I can trust or whose
quirkiness intrigues. Style, after all, is metabolism. Even if it’s nonfiction,
the writing has to have a pulse, something I can feel beneath the facts.”
