“Every word Martone sets down, finally, a choice that limits the universe, their trail across the page a fossil record of some life's life-story.”

“When someone you have loved dies, you accept the fact of his or her death, but then the person goes on living in your memory, dreams, and reveries. You have imaginary conversations with him or her, you see something striking and remind yourself to tell your loved one about it and then get brought up short by the knowledge of the fact of his or her death, and at night, in your sleep, the dead person visits you.”
― Michael Martone, The Scribner Anthology of Contemporary Short Fiction: 50 North American Stories Since 1970 (Touchstone Books
