    Alonzo Fitz and Other Stories

    2008-08-03

    I found this searching for the short story Punch Brothers, Punch, after which Chris Thile’s Punch Brothers are named.

    A quick read, and a good bunch of stories all–around. My favorites:

    • The loves of Alonzo Fitz Clarence and Rosannah Ethelton
    • About magnanimous-incident literature
    • The great revolution in Pitcairn
    • Rogers

    And a standout quote from Speech on the Weather:

    …the tree becomes a spraying fountain, a very explosion of dazzling jewels; and it stands there the acme, the climax, the supremest possibility in art or nature, of bewildering, intoxicating, intolerable magnificence. One cannot make the words too strong.
