Book cover for Rainbow Pie
Today, almost nobody in the social sciences seems willing to touch the subject of America’s large white underclass; or, being firmly placed in the true middle class themselves, can even agree that such a thing exists. Apparently, you can’t ...more

J.N. Chaney
“Space is both friendly and cruel. A mixed message, if you will.”
J.N. Chaney, Backyard Starship

J.N. Chaney
“We spent the rest of the day drinking coffee and wandering the farm, with me explaining Earthly lore to Torina. It struck me that the story of our planet was fantastically complex, which made me realize that every planet I’d encountered, dozens of them, had histories as rich, and complicated, and nuanced, and sometimes ridiculous or infuriating, as Earth did. When I thought about the sum total of all that stuff, I was quiet for a moment or three. The galaxy was… complicated.”
J.N. Chaney, Backyard Starship

Marilynne Robinson
“the onset of Being and the creation by God of His image in humankind is undiminished in all that follows despite the movement away from the world of God’s first intention—modified as this statement must be by the faith that He has a greater, embracing intention that cannot fail.”
Marilynne Robinson, Reading Genesis

Tom Shippey
“No one, perhaps, is ever again going to emulate Tolkien in sheer quantity of effort, in building up the maps and the languages and the histories and the mythologies of one invented world, as no one is ever again going to have his philological resources to draw on.”
Tom Shippey, J.R.R. Tolkien: Author of the Century

Dorothy Parker
“I haven’t the slightest feeling about colored people. Why, I’m just crazy about some of them. They’re just like children—just as easy-going, and always singing and laughing and everything. Aren’t they the happiest things you ever saw in your life? Honestly, it makes me laugh just to hear them.”
Dorothy Parker, Complete Stories
