"time. Language is not a protocol legislated by an authority but rather a wiki that pools the contributions of millions of writers and speakers, who ceaselessly bend the language to their needs and who inexorably age, die, and get replaced by their children, who adapt the language in their turn."

Virginia Woolf
“Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.”
Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own

George Saunders

George Saunders

John Hodgman

John Hodgman

Margaret Atwood

Margaret Atwood, Cat's Eye

Claire Fuller

Claire Fuller, Our Endless Numbered Days
