    • 2013, Kit Dobson, Smaro Kamboureli, Producing Canadian Literature:
      I was asked to glossarize it and I refused to do so, arguing that by the time someone comes to the end of the novel they'll know what it is about. They'll know the names of the various avatars of Ganesh, for example.

      It is to be expected that linguists should wish to glossarize the terms of their own science.
