How to Get Along Without Me by Kate Axelrod
"When I opened the book- beautiful book BTW by Clash, and interesting choice for them, this collection-I was taken by the very elaborate table of contents. Nice. So many short story collections have a few "hits" and then a lot of filler, with no thoug" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Rebecca Schiff  (?)

“We used to call it the World Wide Web, but at some point the world had dropped out. The wide was gone. It was a narrow web connecting us to those who would never love us back.”
Rebecca Schiff, The Bed Moved

“He lifted a condom out of the velveteen satchel. I checked the label to see if it was flavored. He'd bought a variety pack by accident and some of the condoms smelled like strawberries. Even high, I refused to accept a flavor in my vagina. A condom should be condom flavored, not try to appropriate fruit. Things should be what they were. But what were they?

"It's coconut."
"That's not okay.”
Rebecca Schiff, The Bed Moved

“Except I wasn’t paid not to have feelings. I had broken my own spirit for free.”
Rebecca Schiff, The Bed Moved

Topics Mentioning This Author

“If I have a problem, it is this: there is a store where everything costs a dollar.”
Gary Lutz

“Perhaps if I make myself write I shall find out what is wrong with me.”
Dodie Smith, I Capture the Castle

“One of my big revelations was that nobody cares whether you write your novel or not. They want you to be happy. Your parents want you to have health insurance. Your friends want you to be a good friend. But everyone’s thinking about their own problems and nobody wakes up in the morning thinking, ‘Boy, I sure hope Sam finishes that chapter and gets one step closer to his dream of being a working writer.’ Nobody does that. If you want to write, it has to come from you. If you don’t want to write, that’s great. Go do something else. That was a very liberating moment for me.”
Sam Lipsyte

“You've got to lie to stay halfway interested in yourself.”
Barry Hannah

“You need to see a bit of hell now and then. That, and great joy.”
Barry Hannah, Yonder Stands Your Orphan
