Stewart O'Nan

I always squirm when I read what's called 'creative nonfiction,' and the writer is lobbing gobs of emotion and language at the world, hoping some of it will stick.

American Novelist

I wouldn't mind someone lobbing hand grenades at me, but having to reset the timer on the video recorder puts me into a blood-spitting frenzy.

British Critic

John Collins

My ability to play off the pick-and-roll, open plays for other guys and use my athletic body to catch lobs, that's what I do every night.

 no insurgency. Talk to anybody who was over there in the first six months. We had six months to feel the lob, to get the job done, and we dicked around for six months. And then they turned on us.
