What Are Possible Impossiblities?

“The Poet ought rather to chuse Impossibilities, provided they have Resemblance to the Truth, than the Possible, which are Incredible with all their Possibility.”

Francine Prose on Anne Frank, the Extraordinariness of Teenage Girls

September 25th 2009

Francine Prose has written a new book about Anne Frank, Anne Frank: The Book, The Life, The Afterlife, claiming her as a literary genius and exploring how she actively was revising her journal to prepare it for publication after the war. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Prose says something that made me smile: “teenaged girls are the most maligned, undervalued portion of the population, as though they’re all gossip girls. They can be very smart and attuned to the world.”
