Sebastian Faulkes, "A Week in December"

<<
"If you talk to God you're praying. If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia."
-- Thomas Szasz, in The Second Sin (1973)
>>
One of two epigraphs that  Sebastian Faulkes uses to head his new novel, A Week in December (London: Hutchinson's, 2009).

It occurs to us that we have no serious critical, scholarly, or simply literary study of the use of epigraphs in novels and poems. If you're looking for a thesis subject, you might consider this one. . .

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
