Sunday Sentence
In which I participate in David Abrams’s “Sunday Sentence” project, sharing the best sentence I’ve read during the past week, “out of context and without commentary.”
“‘Oh, Italy isn’t so bad since that fellow Mussolini took charge,’ his brother declared. ‘The country is under control.'”
