Críticas

'What caused our friendship to flourish was, to begin with, a similar intellectual outlook, a love for many of the same books as well as a shared delight in what Guston called 'crapola', starting with billboards, garages, diners, burger joints, junk shops, auto body shops...What sealed the camaraderie was that we liked each other's new work' - Philip Roth
