Reader, via email: The Sympathizer, page 15...Unlike Man and I.....???? Do you know the difference between ME and I? I mean, the paragraph before, why not say ‘Bon poured I a drink as soon as me sat down’??? Me: Thanks. Now you write a novel.
It has always impressed me that F Scott Fitzgerald's manuscripts were invariably riddled with the most embarrassing and hilarious of spelling errors. Even his most celebrated works reached his editor in a condition no high school teacher would countenance in her students.

Any idiot can correct errors of spelling, grammar, and usage. It takes a very rare sort of poet, however, to compose prose that lingers in the minds of readers for decades, and somehow rings truer even than their own lived experience.
