body: <p>How to escape double quotes while concatenating a string?
  For example i hoped</p>
  
  <pre><code>(concatenate 'string "Mama said: " "\"Son, your life is an open book...\"")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to give:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"Mama said: "Son, your life is an open book...""
  </code></pre>
