Hello, Gråbergs Gråa Sång I posted this suggestion earlier, but perhaps not in the right place. I would like to add this quote to the william benton (writer) page re the novel Madly.

"Lacy Crawford wrote in Narrative Magazine, “The love affair is doomed because the woman is mad . . . The novel is itself a poetic meditation on how desire attempts to shape the world. Its diction and imagery are startling.”"

This is a signed review by a known and published writer, in a respected literary journal. It gives a true sense of the novel and reflects the kind of comments that other highly esteemed writers (such as Ann Beattie, Philip Lopate, James Salter, Elizabeth Hardwick) have made about the book.

I would like to remove the quote from Kirkus. This would make the page much more even-handed, and truer to the facts. Lafcadio4 (talk) 19:56, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
