“’I suppose I shouldn’t have let things get out of hand like this. Last week I kept warning myself to hurry up and do something, but I didn’t pull myself together for some reason, and then Punt threw me out and there I was.’ He turned his hand inward in a gesture of self-presentation. ‘The way I look, pearl diving is about the only work I could get.’”
Saul Bellow, The Victim (1947).
