"Every call to worship is a call into the Real World.... I encounter such constant and widespread lying about reality each day and meet with such skilled and systematic distortion of the truth that I'm always in danger of losing my grip on reality.

The reality is that baptism, not Myers-Briggs, defines who I am."

Pitched between humor and despair, with stripped-down, evocative prose, A Bit of Difference bristles with penknife-sharp dialogue, but its truths are more subtle, hiding in the unspoken. Ultimately, A Bit of Difference explores â€“ with a hint of mischiefâ€“the problem of how to look like you have no problems when you have abundant problemsâ€“the universal problem of the socially-motivated classes.”
