Words

"And there are words, significant words, you do not want to say, words that account for busted-up lives, words that try to fix something ruined that shouldn't be ruined and no one wanted ruined, and that words can't fix anyway."

Richard Ford
Wildlife
I've long enjoyed Ford (he counts Walker Percy as a major influence, to give some idea of his style and deceptively simple stories) but this Wildlife novel seems noteworthy even for Ford.
