Book cover for Lavender House
The rain is gone by morning, and the sun streaming in through the window is the sort of clean light you don’t get in the city. It hasn’t passed through smoke or exhaust or bad memories. It’s hitting you right from the source.

Jonathan Franzen
“A fact of my life was that I had a morbid fear of reproach, especially from women.”
Jonathan Franzen, Purity

Joyce Carol Oates
“Eventually I gave up making cards. There was such childish hope in these cards, I began to feel pitiful even to myself like a dog whose tail is thump-thump-thumping long after everyone has abandoned him.”
Joyce Carol Oates, My Life as a Rat

Jonathan Franzen
“Happy people didn’t tell lies.”
Jonathan Franzen, Purity

Roxane Gay
“Women of color, queer women, and transgender women need to be better included in the feminist project.”
Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist: Essays

Joan Didion
“The impulse to write things down is a peculiarly compulsive one, inexplicable to those who do not share it, useful only accidentally, only secondarily, in the way that any compulsion tries to justify itself. I suppose that it begins or does not begin in the cradle. Although I have felt compelled to write things down since I was five years old, I doubt that my daughter ever will, for she is a singularly blessed and accepting child, delighted with life exactly as life presents itself to her, unafraid to go to sleep and unafraid to wake up. Keepers of private notebooks are a different breed altogether, lonely and resistant rearrangers of things, anxious malcontents, children afflicted apparently at birth with some presentiment of loss.”
Joan Didion, Slouching Towards Bethlehem
