"I don’t quite know how Groff does it. These stories are so layered and play with time so expertly that characters’ entire lives are suggested, all within the space of a couple dozen pages. I’ve reread some of them to study and savour how she’s constructed them." Mar 25, 2026 06:25PM

Paul Kalanithi
“That message is simple: When you come to one of the many moments in life when you must give an account of yourself, provide a ledger of what you have been, and done, and meant to the world, do not, I pray, discount that you filled a dying man’s days with a sated joy, a joy unknown to me in all my prior years, a joy that does not hunger for more and more, but rests, satisfied. In this time, right now, that is an enormous thing.”
Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air

Mary McCarthy
“Every word she writes is a lie, including ‘and’ and ‘the’."
(on Lillian Hellman)”
Mary McCarthy

Donna Tartt
“And I add my own love to the history of people who have loved beautiful things, and looked out for them, and pulled them from the fire, and sought them when they were lost, and tried to preserve them and save them while passing them along literally from hand to hand, singing out brilliantly from the wreck of time to the next generation of lovers, and the next.”
Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

Alice Munro
“People’s lives, in Jubilee as elsewhere, were dull, simple, amazing, and unfathomable – deep caves paved with kitchen linoleum.”
Alice Munro, Lives of Girls and Women

Edith Wharton
“With a shiver of foreboding he saw his marriage becoming what most of the other marriages about him were: a dull association of material and social interests held together by ignorance on the one side and hypocrisy on the other.”
Edith Wharton, The Age of Innocence
