The Englishman and the Irishman...

'English writers for the most part try to follow Orwell's dictum that prose should be a pane of clear glass through which you look. But Irish writers think of prose style as a distorting lense. We love that ambiguity; we love that a word can have three or four meanings at the same time.'

2005 Man Booker Prize winner John Banville

If you don't get it, ask Kristof.
