Book cover for Fleishman Is in Trouble
we didn’t know that being short and fat as a child had made him unacceptable in his own eyes—first in his mother’s eyes, and then in his own, and then, like a self-fulfilling prophecy, everyone else’s.

Carmen Maria Machado
“A reminder to remember: just because the sharpness of the sadness has faded does not mean that it was not, once, terrible. It means only that time and space, creatures of infinite girth and tenderness, have stepped between the two of you, and they are keeping you safe as they were once unable to.”
Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House

Dolly Alderton
“Love is a quiet, reassuring, relaxing, pottering, pedantic, harmonious hum of a thing; something you can easily forget is there, even though its palms are outstretched beneath you in case you fall.”
Dolly Alderton, Everything I Know About Love

“Summer solstice came and went, and in a way, I find that sad because even though it is the longest day of the dear and marks the beginning of summer, from now on, the days grow shorter and shorter. It's true that some parties end before they even begin.”
Marlowe Granados, Happy Hour

Andrew Sean Greer
“His brain sits before its cash register again, charging him for old shames as if he has not paid before”
Andrew Sean Greer, Less

Jonathan Safran Foer
“The four highest-impact things an individual can do to tackle climate change are eat a plant-based diet, avoid air travel, live car-free, and have fewer children. Of those four actions, only plant-based eating immediately addresses methane and nitrous oxide, the most urgently important greenhouse gases.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast
