Book cover for When I Hit You: Or, A Portrait of the Writer as a Young Wife
I am the woman who has tried to shield herself from the pain of the first-person singular. I am the woman who tummy-rubs every received taunt so that it can be cajoled into sentences.

OT: you know that page that lists all our Reading Women Challenge books? I can't find that now; could you remind me where it is?

Louise Erdrich
“Small bookstores have the romance of doomed intimate spaces about to be erased by unfettered capitalism. A lot of people fall in love here.”
Louise Erdrich, The Sentence

Vajra Chandrasekera
“Every time I led him to the right place at the right time, I first quietly eliminated all the places and times that were wrong. Luck is only someone else’s labour.”
Vajra Chandrasekera, The Saint of Bright Doors

John Scalzi
“What’s going on there?” THAT’S JUST SOME REAL ESTATE DEALS I’M WORKING ON. “Real estate?” I HAVE A LIFE OUTSIDE OF THIS COMPANY, YOU KNOW. “More than I do,” I said. “Is … that legal? Owning real estate?” YOU MEAN, BECAUSE I’M A CAT? “Well, yes.” I HAVE A TRUST SET UP FOR MY BENEFIT AND A HUMAN LAWYER THAT ACTS AS THE EXECUTOR. I TELL HIM WHAT TO DO, HE DOES IT. “Does he know you’re a cat?” YOU KNOW, IT’S NEVER COME UP. “So, you’re a real estate maven.” I HAVE A DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO, Hera wrote. MOSTLY BORING BUT SOME EXCITING PARTS. I DO A LOT OF INVESTING IN EMERGING MARKETS. “Sounds risky.” I’M A CAT, I CAN HANDLE RISK. WORST-CASE SCENARIO IS I LOSE EVERYTHING AND I STILL GET FED AND HAVE A PLACE TO NAP. “That’s … a surprisingly chill way of thinking about things.” SOMETIMES IT’S BETTER NOT TO BE A HUMAN, CHARLIE.”
John Scalzi, Starter Villain

Vajra Chandrasekera
“Remember, son,” Mother-of-Glory says, compensating with pomposity for her deficits of piety or affection. “The only way to change the world is through intentional, directed violence.”
Vajra Chandrasekera, The Saint of Bright Doors

Natasha Pulley
“Someone in this crowd, maybe even someone I knew, wasn’t a human being at all.”
Natasha Pulley, The Hymn to Dionysus
