Book cover for The Time of Their Lives: The Golden Age of Great American Book Publishers, Their Editors, and Authors

Nevil Shute
“Like some infernal monster, still venomous in death, a war can go on killing people for a long time after it's all over.”
Nevil Shute, Requiem for a Wren

Jennifer Egan
“Rebecca was an academic star. Her new book was on the phenomenon of word casings, a term she'd invented for words that no longer had meaning outside quotation marks. English was full of these empty words--"friend" and "real" and "story" and "change"--words that had been shucked of their meanings and reduced to husks.

How had "democracy" come to be used in an arch, mocking way?”
Jennifer Egan, A Visit from the Goon Squad

V.S. Naipaul
“If a writer knows everything that is going to happen, then his book is dead before he begins it.”
V.S. Naipaul

Kim Stanley Robinson
“You can't get any movement larger than five people without including at least one fucking idiot.”
Kim Stanley Robinson, Green Mars
