I came across this in an interview I'm reading for my thesis. The interviewer is referring to Angela Carter's oftentimes contrived and highly stylistic manner of writing:
Interviewer: I think it's true that you do embrace opportunities for overwriting.
Carter: Embrace them? I would say that I half-suffocate them with the enthusiasm with which I wrap my arms and legs around them.
I can just hear the delicate snort and droll tone in which that line was delivered. See why I love this author so much? :)
