Junot Díaz
“...one of those very bad men that not even postmodernism can explain away.”
Junot Diaz

David  Mitchell
“Three or four times only in my youth did I glimpse the Joyous Isles, before they were lost to fogs, depressions, cold fronts, ill winds, and contrary tides... I mistook them for adulthood. Assuming they were a fixed feature in my life's voyage, I neglected to record their latitude, their longitude, their approach. Young ruddy fool. What wouldn't I give now for a never-changing map of the ever-constant ineffable? To possess, as it were, an atlas of clouds.”
David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

Pablo Neruda
“A book,
a book full
of human touches,
of shirts,
a book
without loneliness, with men
and tools,
a book
is victory.”
Pablo Neruda, Odes to Common Things

Patrick O'Brian

Patrick O'Brian, H.M.S. Surprise

David  Mitchell
“The truth of a myth...is not in its words but its patterns.”
David Mitchell, The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet
