You assume I think pop culture associations are bad. Not true, just that I don't want it to be the first thing that comes to mind. I actually prefer the
Clarice association because I think her job is wonderful and I have a personal relation with it, but I'm more a realist than a sentimental, and I know that the SotL jokes would be never ending, that's all.
ETA that
Clarissa is growing on me as a I read Mrs. Dalloway, so while it's not a pop culture association, it would probably be my association.
Wit has truth in it; wisecracking is simply calisthenics with words.
