""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.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”

“I think men get nervous when women start counting the number of female senators, and whites become edgy when they hear the next Supreme Court seat will probably go to a Latino. This isn't always because they object to sharing the spoils, by the way; it just reminds us that the melting pot may not be working, and we haven't yet achieved the ambiguous national dream of becoming a nation of indistinguishable beige atheists.”
