Henning Mankell
“The stories I create are never as awful as reality.”
Henning Mankell

Ramona Ausubel
“You know that smell, when you put your nose up to a pine tree?" I told her I did perfectly. "No matter how long it has been, you always will. Like you are storing a part of that tree in your own body. ... Everything stays true. You are yourself, no matter how much you have to change.”
Ramona Ausubel, No One Is Here Except All of Us

“In writing this book, I have come to feel like a kind of immigrant in my own life, inhabiting a world of reflections and images of people I can't fully know, some of whom are dead, and I see now that my life has been shaped by this network, in ways I didn't always perceive.”
Zachary Lazar, I Pity the Poor Immigrant

Ruth Ozeki
“Sometimes when she told stories about the past her eyes would get teary from all the memories she had, but they weren't tears. She wasn't crying. They were just the memories, leaking out.”
Ruth Ozeki, A Tale for the Time Being

Henning Mankell
“Our exile organizations have been our way of replacing the cities and villages we have lost.”
Henning Mankell, The Dogs of Riga
