“What about the children, Miss Berry? What it they develop an addiction and forget how to run and play? What will happen if people stop conversing with each other because they re too busy watching a box? Or if they stop going to lectures or musical performances or the theater or concerts. And, god forbid, reading.
What if people stop reading?”
― Victoria Purman, The Radio Hour: A Novel

“I think those of us who love love stories are junkies for that joyful, blissed-out feeling of anticipating the happily ever after that’s a guarantee of the genre.
All genres have their guarantees, by the way: Sleuths will solve the mystery, thrillers will save the hero in the nick of time, superheroes will vanquish the villains at last. Part of what we like about the genres we like is the anticipation of those guarantees. We like to see the mystery solved, and the hero saved, and the villains vanquished. It feels good.”
