"the horror that fascinated [Poe] and gave such dreadful unity to his tales is often the inescapable confrontation of the self by a perfect justice, the exposure of a guilty act in a form that makes its revelation a recoil of the mind against itself."
Marilynne Robinson, "On Edgar Allan Poe," New York review of books 62, no. 2 (February 5, 2015): 6 (4, 6).
