“According to the literary critic Northrop Frye, each of the four seasons of the Northern Hemisphere has given rise to a correlative genre: satire belongs to winter, comedy to spring, romance to summer and tragedy to fall. Our present civilization has little appetite for tragedy, but a wispy shadow of Frye’s theory persists, as the coming of autumn sends children back to school and putatively serious movies back into the multiplexes.” – New York Times 09/10/00
