Philip Roth, Living Monument
"You're just drawing breath to ask the first serious question of the evening, when the woman at the table next door starts in. She's been giving him that look you come to know, the look you'd give the Brooklyn Bridge if you were a New Yorker on a night out and it sat down next to you: recognition, amazement, awe, affection, and proprietariness - why, that's one of my landmarks!"
