Orchid Thief Quote (Susan Orlean)

I love this description. Brilliantly written.

"They liked him in spite of the fact that he is a confirmed misanthrope, and that he has none of the usual traits of popularity - conventional good looks, smooth manners, an agreeable temperment - and that he has a challenging, slightly obscene sense of humor and the habit of lateness and that he constantly overpromises." (p. 98)
