But is it Art?
I didn’t think much about art as I slaved away on Casualties. I did worry plenty plenty about being published.
I wanted to be chosen.

| If you told me I would gobble up a thriller set in the world of hedge funds and unscrupulous white collar types, I’d have laughed in your face. We see enough of that kind of stuff in the news, right? But then I read the first page of Leverage by Amra ...more | |

| The weaving of a woman's craving for beauty and ambivalence about commitment to a man, even a good one, are two of the threads that ran throughout this compact and beautifully-written novel. The third important one for me is Martin's simple, elegant ...more | |

“It is the memory of this relief that will haunt her in the months to come. It will start to unsettle her tonight when they eat the lasagna and carve up the chocolate cake. It will continue to disturb her when Robbie leaves for boot camp, and later, when he is assigned to duty nearly three thousand miles away at Camp Lejeune. It will scald her when she learns he has been deployed to Iraq. Each day she will think back to this day and remember how she nodded and wiped her eyes. She will remember how Robbie’s body seemed to loosen, open up, how he squared his shoulders and embraced her as if he’d been practicing all his life for this moment. Sometimes she thinks she will be haunted every day by the memory of the relief she felt when Robbie asked her to let him go. And she did.”

“My dream is to walk around the world. A smallish backpack, all essentials neatly in place. A camera. A notebook. A traveling paint set. A hat. Good shoes. A nice pleated (green?) skirt for the occasional seaside hotel afternoon dance.”

“Language is like a road, it cannot be perceived all at once because it unfolds in time, whether heard or read. This narrative or temporal element has made writing and walking resemble each other.”

“Walking . . . is how the body measures itself against the earth.”

“A lone walker is both present and detached, more than an audience but less than a participant. Walking assuages or legitimizes this alienation.”
