highly individual ghosts

"I don't do very much. Every once in a while I put Henderson [the Rain King] on me like a plumber's level. The bubble is usually in the wrong place, so I sigh and knock off for the day. But Sondra is a beautiful mother-to-be, and Greg gave me much pleasure last month, so my life is far from barren. Too many awful distractions, however, big gloomy houses, money, alimony problems, friends low in spirits, and ghosts, large numbers of highly individual ghosts."

~~ Saul Bellow to John Berryman, December 6, 1956
