Pointed Roofs (Classic Reprint)

Pointed Roofs three times. The first time it came to me with its original wardrobe, a different dress for every mood ;and in some places the handwriting of the manuscript clothed the thought with the ragged urgency of haste ;and in others it wore an aspect incredibly delicate and neat, as if the writer had caressed each word before setting it down. I decided then that Pointed Roofs was realism, was objective. The influence of the varying moods I inferred from the vagaries of the holograph, inclined me to believe that the book presented the picture of a conscious artist, outside her material, judging, balancing, selecting. The second time the novel came to me in typescript, in the formal, respectable dress of the applicant for a clerkship. It was there to answer questions; willing to be examined but replying always in a single manner. I changed my opinion after that interview.
