I stayed up all night reading this. Loved it so much. I grew up in this part of the city and it was almost surreal how perfectly Andersen depicted the northwest side and its people, and the way it feels, wanting to be an artist when you come from thi ...more

Quotes by Jessie Ann Foley  (?)

“That's what living people do. They shatter and rebuild, shatter and rebuild, shatter and rebuild until they are old and worn and stooped from the work of it.”
Jessie Ann Foley, The Carnival at Bray

“Everything that ever happens to you only happens once, so you better never stop paying attention.”
Jessie Ann Foley, The Carnival at Bray

“By the time the clock had moved past midnight on Christmas 1993, they finally clicked the last piece into place: Angola, nestled between Zaire and Namibia and bordering the vast lapping Atlantic. Then, having succeeded in putting the world back together, they went to bed.”
Jessie Ann Foley, The Carnival at Bray

“I am an American, Chicago born – Chicago, that somber city – and go at things as I have taught myself, free-style, and will make the record in my own way: first to knock, first admitted; sometimes an innocent knock, sometimes a not so innocent. But a man's character is his fate, says Heraclitus, and in the end there isn't any way to disguise the nature of the knocks by acoustical work on the door or gloving the knuckles.”
Saul Bellow, The Adventures of Augie March

“Each day a raid on the inarticulate--T.S. Eliot”
T.S. Eliot

“The best revenge is living well without you. ”
Joyce Carol Oates, ed.

“Every intense relationship between human beings is full of traps, and if you want it to endure you have to learn to avoid them. I did so then, and finally it seemed that I had only come up against yet another proof of how splendid and shadowy our friendship was, how long and complicated Lila’s suffering had been, how it still endured and would endure forever.”
Elena Ferrante, The Story of the Lost Child

“Unlike stories, real life, when it has passed, inclines toward obscurity, not clarity.”
Elena Ferrante, The Story of the Lost Child
