"You get at most one cliché per book."
Jonathan Franzen doesn't finish most books people send him. He reads until the second cliché, then stops.
"People send me a galley of a book that's coming out. I read along until I get to the second cliché, and I say, thank you."
"They tell me this is not an attentive writer. Aren't you aware that that's a cliché? Didn't it occur to you to stop and take 20 minutes to find a better phrasing than that?"
"You can also have borrowed feelings, borrowed ideas, borrowed situations. Sentiment can be clichéd, or unearned."
