— Oliver Harris"I have really been fortunate, incredibly privileged, to have done so much editorial work, and I would love to do more.

A good deal of editing a manuscript looks like mechanical work, as if anyone with time on their hands and a magnifying glass could do it. But at a certain point, you need a strong interpretive conviction and, as you say, an "intangible" relationship to what you are doing.
