Charles Baxter
“Gainfully unemployed, very proud of it, too.”
Charles Baxter, The Feast of Love

R.P. Gage
“People ask me, "What’s it feel like, knowing your work will outlive you?" I say—imagine raising a kid. You feed it, teach it, protect it. Give it your best years. One day it grows up, builds a tech startup, and blocks your number.”
R.P. Gage, Noetic Gravity
