What aspiring writers say about "Pity":
"The first three chapters of Pity challenged my imagination and inspired me to make some changes in my daily life, like being more in-tune to those around me. Terrent's words spoke directly to my soul."
-Nicole Indelicato, Stony Brook University, fall '08
"The first three chapters of "Pity the Poor Reader" opened the door to a room that I never knew existed. I wish I would have had it 2 years ago when I took my very first journalism class at Stony Brook."
- Sarah Kazadi, Stony Brook University, fall '08
"Thanks to Terrent, I will keep that little parrot (of doubt) on my shoulder who is both a companion to the lowliest writers (like me) and Philip Roth alike."
- Ross Barkan, Stony Brook University, fall '08
"In the witty yet useful "Pity," an inspiring quote caught my attention: Writers are fighters.. They live to sly ignorance and misconception, fabrication and pretense."
- Angelica Fusco, Stony Brook University, fall '08
"Pity was exactly what we needed in writing,"
- Emory student, spring 2007
