“I suppose I could have done that book… It would have been shocking and I could have gotten all kinds of attention, and I could have toned things up and toned things down.”
– Martha Sherrill, quoted by Edward Wyatt, in Memoir Becomes Novel, Secret Remains Secret, The New York Times, January 30, 2006.
