In The Glass-Bottomed Boat Comments

She puts us in that glass-bottomed boat and then takes us not only on a physical and well described journey but also on a philosophical journey- she is especially well suited for that task, she and that remarkably original pen of hers. She knows well what imagination is: He wants to sail, sail, sail, not putter through the world. & so do we, so do we, wishing for the freedom of the fish beneath the reef, wishing for the crevices of sunken ship with its rusted eyeholes, its great ribbed hull, its rotted rudder, its bright propeller tarnishing beneath the sea.
