""Slovik had done a good job with the Canadians: cooking potato pancakes, helping people attend funerals, dispensing [cigarettes] to weary German pilots. No doubt about it: Eddie Slovik was a damn goodhearted guy, do anything in the world for you. Anything, that is, except the duty to which he had been assigned." I am appreciating how Huie builds the world and fills in the context of Slovik's life & eventual death." — Oct 13, 2024 05:14AM

""But the special thing about queer people is that even though we scavenge for crumbs, we're also the ones who leave them in our wake. A glance. A button. A cheeky reference. A subtle lyric. You can try to make us disappear, but we find ourselves in one another again, and again, and again."" — Sep 15, 2024 01:52PM

“I hate my voice. I hate the words I choose. I hate my instincts and the way I think. I hate that I am self-absorbed enough to hate myself in detail. I think I am a bad person. I feel self-loathing so deeply I think if I cracked myself open, I would see the physical manifestation of it calcified in my bones like a geode.”

“Whenever I see my mom watching her food cook in the oven, I sit next to her and look in. You can't kill yourself in modern ovens. Well, I'm sure you could. You could kill yourself with anything if you tried hard enough. When we sit there, though, I feel like we are moths drawn to the memory of what an oven can do to sad women.”

“Ky didn't allow her mother to have feelings, because to grant her those would mean acknowledging that she was a person who had desires and dreams beyond what Ky saw. It was easier to imagine her as a caricature, as an immigrant Cabramatta parent, whose only desire was for her children to become doctors and lawyers (or ideally both) whose only means of expressing love to them was through cooking their meals, washing their clothes, and criticizing them into being better people. And despite wanting more from her mother, despite wanting the expression of love that came with warmth and acceptance, despite wanting her mother to actually know who she was, Ky had convinced herself that it was beyond her mother's capabilities, that people from the old country simply didn't do things that way. They'd give their life for you, but good luck getting them to see you.”
