Romesh Gunesekera
“What did they do with the mango-stone I sometimes found in their bedroom in the morning? All chewed up and wasted; rubbed out like a rock smoothed in a desert, or a gift passed from one to the other over and over again, mouth to mouth. Mango for the skin? A body tonic? For the lips? A lubricant for them to live to the full the life of man and woman, or some weird object of shared desire?”
Romesh Gunesekera, Reef

“There is a Cinzano on the table beside me and a siphon of aerated water. I am at a loss to know how ants have got into the siphon. Neither the ants themselves nor the people who filled the siphons can have intended this.”
Peter Mayne

Bruce Chatwin
“One year, he went to Paris for the week-end: but that completely upset his equilibrium.”
Bruce Chatwin, Utz

Peter Carey
“Remember, this is the country of the duck-billed platypus. When you are cut off from the rest of the world, things are bound to develop in interesting ways.”
Peter Carey, My Life as a Fake

André Gide
“…the facts of history all appeared to me like specimens in a herbarium, permanently dried, so that it was easy to forget they had once upon a time been juicy with sap and alive in the sun.”
André Gide, The Immoralist
