Private Novelist (2016)
“God makes way for “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn,” and as far as Yigal could tell, it was a big improvement.
He bought a copy for Mary at Scribner’s across the street from the library. I admit it’s a Rizzoli now, but for the purposes of this novel, it’s still Scribner’s. The book delighted her. “This is just like the ocean! Who is this guy?”
You can tell a lot about the author of Wind in the Willows by reading it, but Yigal hadn’t given it much thought, so he said, “I don’t know. The author.”
...“He must have lived in the ocean for a while. These characters are so much like people I used to know down there. This frog is just like a sea tiger.”
“Sea tiger?” Yigal was imagining something large and furry with stripes, since a seal in Hebrew is a “sea dog.”
“It’s a sort of squishy green thing about a foot long, with spots. What I mean is, sea tigers are always trying to take advantage of people. Actually they eat them, but you know what I mean. They sting, but they’re easy to avoid.”MoreLess
