Book cover for Skein and Bone
The rain kept Julie awake. It always did. It drummed against the window in a persistent patter as rhythmically as Rob’s breathing next to her. Neither lulled her. They only served to disturb the thing under the bed.

Paul Monette
“Bernice sat in the chair by the window day after day, knitting a pearl-white sweater for Rog, a sweater she later admitted to me she didn't care if he ever wore or liked; she was knitting to keep him alive.”
Paul Monette, Borrowed Time: An AIDS Memoir

Xóchitl González
“My irritation began mounting as he and Arnold volleyed Leslie's unchallenging, simplistic questions. "Do you feel intimidated by women taking up more space in the art world?" What fucking space? I thought. We were given the corners men deemed too dark and dusty. "How do you think the softness of women's work helps to reinforce the linearity of men's art practices?" Who the fuck said women's art existed to do or say anything about men's art practices?

"Leslie, this might be controversial to say here," Jack said, with the air of a provocateur, and I could feel the room -- the men, especially -- lean in toward him, eager to lap up the crap he was about to serve. "Because I admire what you've done. But should this gallery even exist?”
Xóchitl González, Anita de Monte Laughs Last

Sue Grafton
“You'd think she'd be relieved," I said. "From what I hear, he beat the shit out of her."

"Not at first. She was crazy about him when he first got out. Still is, actually."

"That's probably why she called him the world's biggest asshole at the funeral," I remarked.”
Sue Grafton, D is for Deadbeat

Nevada Barr
“Anna wondered what it was that was so alienating about cars. Somehow, more than any othter machine, they seemed to create a world of their own, a mobile pack-rat midden full of personal artifacts that utterly separated man from the natural environment he hurtled through.”
Nevada Barr, Ill Wind

Xóchitl González
“Catastrophe can be a course correction, you know?”
Xóchitl González, Anita de Monte Laughs Last
