Book cover for Paradise: One Town's Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire
As residents commiserated over their losses, remarking on how hot the Camp Fire had burned and how fast it had moved, a couple from the Konkow tribe, who happened to be on the tour, offered to share a story. Their ancestors, they said, had ...more

Szczepan Twardoch
“At the same time there was something delicate in his face, almost childlike, cosseted, something I couldn’t name but today I know is simply a trait of the upper crust, who are pampered their entire lives.”
Szczepan Twardoch, The King of Warsaw

Ruth Saberton
“We look for sense and we search for patterns or a grand design in the desperate attempt to make meaning out of what frightens us the most – the possibility that there is no meaning. Bad things happen to good people. Evil prospers. Young fit men get sick and die. Children starve. Teenagers are murdered in bomb blasts at music concerts. There is no reason or divine plan. Crap things happen. End of.”
Ruth Saberton, The Letter

“Lead levels in American children and adults are seen to be declining rapidly, beginning in 1992. At the same time, the crime rate falls, the largest plunge in recorded history. Epidemiologists superimpose graphs of lead and crime over each other, the lines rising and falling in tandem so closely that a theory is born: the lead–crime hypothesis.[”
Caroline Fraser, Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers

Kurt Andersen
“Libertarians fantasize that they’re action heroes and entirely self-made. They tend to exempt themselves from the truism that there but for the grace of God goes each one of them, because an implicit premise of their ultra-individualism is that anybody in America can make it on their own and that unfair disadvantages either don’t exist or can’t be helped. I have a hunch that the demographic profile of self-identified libertarians—94 percent white, 68 percent male, 62 percent in their forties or younger—has something to do with those beliefs and fantasies.”
Kurt Andersen, Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America

Michael   Lewis
“Everyone has a story they tell themselves about themselves. Even if they don’t explicitly acknowledge it, their minds are at work retelling or editing or updating a narrative that explains or excuses why they have spent their time on earth as they have.”
Michael Lewis, The Premonition: A Pandemic Story
