“Years from now, I will say that tonight was the night I knew that she was the girl I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. This is about more than her body, her tanned skin, her perfect mouth. I am in love with her blood, with her smell, with intangible things that I will never hold – her laugh, her anger, her soul. She kisses me, and she has a thousand reasons to be upset with me, but tonight she is not upset. She just keeps saying, “I love you, I love you, I love you, in this life and the next and the last”.”
Chloe Michelle Howarth, Sunburn

“Every writer I know feels this way about someone else. Writing is such a solitary activity. You have no assurance that what you’re creating has any value, and any indication that you’re behind in the rat race sends you spiraling into the pits of despair. Keep your eyes on your own paper, they say. But that’s hard to do when everyone else’s papers are flapping constantly in your face.”
R.F. Kuang, Yellowface

“Too late I realise that she has been the Summer of my life. What a slow and painful death this shall be.”
Chloe Michelle Howarth, Sunburn

“Writing is the closest thing we have to real magic. Writing is creating something out of nothing, is opening doors to other lands. Writing gives you power to shape your own world when the real one hurts too much.”
R.F. Kuang, Yellowface

“Reading lets us live in someone else’s shoes. Literature builds bridges; it makes our world larger, not smaller.”
R.F. Kuang, Yellowface
