"Ok I’m a little biased because I used to babysit for Joe, but I really enjoyed this book. The story was such a unique take on the tale of Icarus & stood out from a lot of the fiction I’ve read recently. "

“Sometimes, it’s just the feeling that a book has enlarged you somehow, providing you not so much with answers as with better, clearer questions.”
Joe Fassler, Light the Dark: Writers on Creativity, Inspiration, and the Artistic Process

“The Civil War was a big break in Whitman’s poetry. Sometimes, he’d drive you nuts before that with his oh, what a great country we are, marching toward this glorious future!—all that Emersonian optimism. He saw this vision of collective humanity in this country that he really believed in. He expected all good things would happen from this very energetic and attractive people. And then, boom—the war.”
Joe Fassler, Light the Dark: Writers on Creativity, Inspiration, and the Artistic Process

“For (Levi) Grossman, no books feel more like home than C. S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia, which provide the template for what he likes to read—and how he wants to write.”
