Arlo Bates

Arlo Bates was an American author and literary critic known for his novels and essays in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

"The rage for swiftness which is so characteristic of this restless time has been extended to fashions of reading. One effect of the modern habit of swift and careless reading is seen in the impatience with which anything is regarded which is not to be taken in at a glance."
