“Family, for good or for ill, is who you love with, who you fight with…who you try not to die with.”
Mitch Hyman, Vinnie & Mook - Family and Fiends: A Hit Men of the Supernatural Anthology

Nick Harkaway
“Pulp is the vector for Eco, the cloak of Chandler, the soft pillow of Virginia Woolf, the birth caul of Cold Comfort Farm, the fairy godmother of Doris Lessing and William Gibson. Pulp is the key to open the doors not only of Freud and Jung, but even of Barthes, who stole everything from Calvino anyway but let us not go down that road for fear we shalln't return this night. Yes, Inspector, clap me in irons. I am a nerd.”
Nick Harkaway, Gnomon
