"I have nothing against expository writing. Quite the contrary, in fact. I love expository writing when the prose is accessible and vigorous, the thinking irresistible, and the whole piece artfully explicit. But I sure love writing that demands an imaginative leap of the reader, writing that is, l like to say, 'implicitly emphatic.'" (Romano, Blending Genre, Altering Style: Writing Multigenre Papers, 200, p. 25)
