Elena Ferrante
“She took the facts and in a natural way charged them with tension; she intensified reality as she reduced it to words, she injected it with energy.”
Elena Ferrante, My Brilliant Friend

Emily Witt
“It was the same old question, whether a declaration of purpose might protect you from failure.”
Emily Witt, Future Sex: A New Kind of Free Love

Orhan Pamuk
“...and awakening, at that moment, to the thrilling prospect of complete surrender, not just of one’s lips but of one’s entire body to a lover’s mercy, we recognized that the gap between compassion and surrender is love’s darkest, deepest region.”
Orhan Pamuk

Karan Mahajan
“No action is safe from meaning.”
Karan Mahajan, The Association of Small Bombs

Andrew Sean Greer
“New York is a city of eight million people, approximately seven million of whom will be furious when they hear you were in town and didn’t meet them for an expensive dinner, five million furious you didn’t visit their new baby, three million furious you didn’t see their new show, one million furious you didn’t call for sex, but only five actually available to meet you. It is completely reasonable to call none of them.”
Andrew Sean Greer, Less
