“like the long descriptions that you don’t get anymore, and the way that Dickens will use six adjectives when he could use just one, and the meandering plots. And—and I like how emotional old books are,” Caleb admitted, wriggling in embarrassment. “I feel like people actually are that emotional, and characters in modern books are too restrained.”
Aster Glenn Gray, The Sleeping Soldier

“Of course you sing different songs than we did, you have a different president, you dress in different fashions. I knew these things would change. But I would have thought feelings were feelings and always the same, and it turns out they are as changeable as popular songs. Maybe that is why the songs change,” Russell said. “Each generation needs its own songs, because each generation has a different heart.”
Aster Glenn Gray, The Sleeping Soldier

“As with so many of my books, The Sleeping Soldier grew from an observation in George Chauncey’s Gay New York: Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World, 1890-1940. Chauncey notes that when historians discuss passionate male friendship in 19th century America, they often “mistake the fact that men who passionately and physically expressed their love for other men were considered normal for their having been considered heterosexual, as if it were not the very inconsistency of their emotional lives with contemporary models of heterosexuality that made them seem curious to historians in the first place.”
Aster Glenn Gray, The Sleeping Soldier

“What do you people have against punctuation, Caleb? You haven’t lived till you’ve used a dash and a semicolon in the same sentence.”
Aster Glenn Gray, The Sleeping Soldier

Jackson Marsh
“Always denied, never expressed, but impossible to ignore, the thought he was different to normal men plagued his mind when he allowed it to, and although he kept the thought as deeply covered as he could, it rose to the surface in moments such as the one that had just passed.”
Jackson Marsh, Finding a Way
