A Talk with Annie Dillard
Read this delightful interview with Dillard, who considers humor—especially irony—to be an important ingredient in her writing. "Sarcasm has no place in literature," Dillard says, "but irony has the highest place." Look up the definitions of the literary terms sarcasm and irony. In the Web Links Activity Log, write a paragraph explaining the distinction Dillard is making.
