Exquisite Burden

“Revision is one of the exquisite pleasures of writing.”
-Bernard Malamud


Had Bernard Malamud called revision one of the "necessary burdens" instead of "exquisite pleasures" of writing, I would think of him like a brother. Instead, he's more the father my mother left before I was born.
