‘Isaac Bashevis Singer said, “There’s no great art in confusing the reader.” That’s one of the laws you live by. Make it plain. Make it plain all the way through. Starting from “Once upon a time.” The emotions are indeed there, but you need not express them with neon lights.’

– Edward P. Jones, The Art of Fiction No. 222, The Paris Review
