"have not stopped thinking about these two sentences since I read them: “A man who responds to email is a man who receives more email.” and the early morning set up: “Outside, the birds were still clearing their throats.” James Tate Hill you absolute icon!!!" — Sep 07, 2021 12:28PM

"This first story has siblings who use an app to create a personalised hologram of their dead mom based on all her journals —having to edit out mention of her past lovers, possible affairs and secret smoking and drinking habits for their dad to hang out with. It’s got futuristic vibes plus grief and family dynamics, sooo interesting." — Aug 18, 2021 02:01PM

“Now that I was a boy words flowed out of me with no obstruction. As a girl I'd had to swallow at least half of what I wanted to say.

“And yet, it occurs to me now that we can never run with our lies indefinitely. Sooner or later we are forced to confront their darkness. We can choose then when, not the if. And the longer we wait, the more painful and uncertain it will be.”

“This is how I lived back then– through books. I locked myself into their stories, dreamt of their characters at night, pretended to be them. They were my armour against the hard edges of reality. I carried them with me wherever I went, like a talisman in my pocket, thinking of them as almost more real than the people around me, who spoke and lived in denial, destined, I thought, to never do anything worth recounting.”
