Call me obsessive, but I've been spending most of the day trying to figure out what an editor meant in my latest rejection note when she cited the narrator's "pervasive tendency to nostalgia" as the primary reason for turning down the book.
Without knowing anything else about the novel (mainstream, literary, humorous) can someone give me their impression of what that phrase might mean?
Also, would it be unprofessional of me to write this editor to ask for further clarification?
