Philip Sington, The Einstein Girl

“One thing I knew about the novelist’s task: when in doubt, write; when empty, write; when afraid, write. Nothing is more impenetrable than the blank page. The blank page is the void, the absence of sense and feeling, the white light of literary death.”
Philip Sington, The Valley of Unknowing

“I wanted her body and soul, but body first.”
