"I already love this writer and this vulnerability on full display is really powerful. Also I enjoy learning about her life because so much of it shows up in her characters. The novels aren't autobiographical necessarily, but there's always a lot of an author in their work. Learning about them then and seeing those connections is a beautiful thing. LOVE Hala Alyan."

Randa Jarrar
“Westerns began to make sense. The hubris of white men began to make sense. For what was this landscape but a canvas to swing a dick around in?”
Randa Jarrar, Love Is an Ex-Country

Hala Alyan
“Nostalgia is an affliction. Someone said that once in front of Alia, and the words reach her now, years later. Like a fever or a cancer, the longing for what had vanished wasting a person away. Not just the unbearable losses, but the small things as well. Alia thinks of her bedroom in Nablus. The seashells she filled with bobby pins.”
Hala Alyan, Salt Houses

Ijeoma Oluo
“Perhaps one of the most brutal of white male privileges is the opportunity to live long enough to regret the carnage you have brought upon others.”
Ijeoma Oluo, Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America

Isabel Wilkerson
“Throughout human history, three caste systems have stood out. The tragically accelerated, chilling, and officially vanquished caste system of Nazi Germany. The lingering, millennia-long caste system of India. And the shape-shifting, unspoken, race-based caste pyramid in the United States. Each version relied on stigmatizing those deemed inferior to justify the dehumanization necessary to keep the lowest-ranked people at the bottom and to rationalize the protocols of enforcement. A caste system endures because it is often justified as divine will, originating from sacred text or the presumed laws of nature, reinforced throughout the culture and passed down through the generations.”
Isabel Wilkerson, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents

Isabel Wilkerson
“Slavery was not merely an unfortunate thing that happened to black people. It was an American innovation, an American institution created by and for the benefit of the elites of the dominant caste and enforced by poorer members of the dominant caste who tied their lot to the caste system rather than to their consciences.”
Isabel Wilkerson, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents
