Quote (p.145) : " This is how kitsch-making interpretation kills off works of art. Some forty years before the American professor imposed this moralizing meaning on the story, ` Hills Like White Elephants' was published in France under the title `Paradis perdu', a title that has no relation ._._._. .".
