	Hypotyposis on a Good Day: A quote about Wallace Shawn
		Wallace Shawn, his father, and his grandfather could be the subject of a trilogy of novels, telling the story of America from the thrusting energy of the self-made man in the first generation to the absorption into the East Coast establishment in the next and finally to the rage, disgust, and disillusionment of the third.
		Guilt, not gratitude, is the keynote of Wallace Shawn's reflections on the luxury of his childhood.

	Wallace Shawn - The Fever - Book
		Knowing Wallace Shawn as an actor I figure a flurry of humorous and bizarre moments would sustain my attention, because of his distinct personality, whether they were called for or not.
		What Shawn's done is rather like what Peter Singer did in a recent essay in the NYTimes - he has taken the one of the hoariest of moral problems -- distributive injustice -- and breathed new life into it.
		Both Singer and Shawn seem to accomplish this by returning to a rather simple, almost naive approach to the guilt of affluence and tranquillity in a world of scarcity and terror.
