Book cover for The Getaway
My mom taught me to play when I was five, and she imparted on me how messing up a spades game could crush friendships, break up families, and start wars. If you know, you know. Anyway.

Tommy Wallach
“The best books, they don't talk about things you never thought about before. They talk about things you'd always thought about, but that you didn't think anyone else had thought about. You read them, and suddenly you're a little bit less alone in the world. You're part of this cosmic community of people who've thought about this thing, whatever it happens to be.”
Tommy Wallach, We All Looked Up

“The rulers of this country have always considered their property more important than our lives.”
Assata Shakur, Assata: An Autobiography

Shaun David Hutchinson
“Love's more than holding hands and going to dances. It's two people who struggle to live, even when they should maybe both be dead. When one of them would be better off dead.”
Shaun Hutchinson, The Five Stages of Andrew Brawley

Jesse Andrews
“I don’t know how to live a normal human life.”
Jesse Andrews, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

Shaun David Hutchinson
“I realize that adults are just as fucked as the rest of us. No one really grows up. No one unravels all of life's many mysteries. They just grow older and become better liars.”
Shaun David Hutchinson
