Peter Orner:  Indelible (Inactive?) (January 2017)

Why do we remember certain moments, scenes, lines or bits of dialogue from one book while often forgetting key plot points or details?   Orner explores what has stayed with him from works by Faulkner, Woolf, Gina Berriault, Penelope Fitzgerald, and others to explore the notion that indelible moments often arise from unexpectedly inactive ones—from a novel’s quiet detonations.
