To Mr. Miller,

; Newberry
Sorry he is irritated by her writing, but he will go on being irritated. Does not agree with
his standard of judgment. Writes to suit herself. Reason she took the male point of view in
Ántonia was certainly
not to try to sound like a man. Narrator doesn't really matter anyway, but is only an angle of
vision. A story of action doesn't need a clearly defined narrator, but a story of feeling,
designed to create a mood, does. Two greatest modern writers were Tolstoi and Turgenev, and they are
utterly dissimilar.
