From the introduction: ''I believe that writers bring about a wild form of justice in their role as God's spies ... In spite of the feebleness and randomness of language, an inspired writer can tell the unspeakable and lend a shape to the unthinkable, so that evil loses some of its numinous quality and stands reduced to a few memorable words.''
