Summary

This quote highlights the changing perception of success and monetary value over time. It invokes nostalgia for a time when having $25,000 was considered a significant achievement. However, the quote suggests that inflation and societal shifts have diminished the worth of this sum to the point where it is now likened to a comparatively low-status occupation like being a garbage collector. It juxtaposes past and present to illustrate how subjective and relative our definitions of success can be in an evolving world.

But to be perfectly frank, this childish idea that the author of a novel has some special insight into the characters in the novel...it's ridiculous. That novel was composed of scratches on a page, dear. The characters inhabiting it have no life outside of those scratches. What happened to them? They all ceased to exist the moment the novel ended.
