“…if there’s one thing that the reader’s brain is not hardwired to be curious about, it’s this: I wonder what scrumptious metaphor the writer is going to use next. What breathtaking turn of phrase will she come up with now? It turns out the brain is far less picky about lyrical language than we’ve been led to believe. We don’t come for beautiful language, poetic writing, or even dramatic plot points. We come for something much deeper, much more meaningful: inside info on how to survive in this glorious, cruel, beautiful world, and in style no less.”
