“I don't know how you perceive my mission as a writer, but for me it is not a responsibility to reaffirm your concretized myths and provincial prejudices. It is not my job to lull you with a false sense of the rightness of the universe.

I make your nose run and your eyeballs water.”
― Harlan Ellison

“Faust: Who holds the devil, let him hold him well,
