Note sull'episodio
It is with pleasure I return to Melville’s short form. Are salespeople ever welcomed more heartily than this one here? I would think not and yet, having been so welcomed, he sets about displaying the exact characteristics that have always turned me away from a career in sales (not forgetting that I am a terrible salesperson anyway). In addition, the salesman is only too happy to speak of his own superior knowledge in a way that Rebecca Solnit would quite happily have coined him “mansplainer” I doubt not.
Melville’s clever turn-of-phrase in dialogue is sweetly in evidence once more.
Enjoy!
