some fav quotes on reread:
- to me though, the hand stencils say “i was here.” they say “you are not new.”
- he offered us the place ribs don’t protect, trusting that we weren’t going to bite or stab him.
- there is something deep within me, something intensely fragile, that is terrified of turning itself to the world. i know that if i’m hit where i am earnest, i will never recover.

“in the anthropocene, there are no disinterested observers, there are only participants. when people write reviews, they are really writing a kind of memoir.”
