is 56% done with Alternative Alamat: 4* for "Beneath the Acacia." The writing was good, but didn't do much for me. Once I finished it though, I realized that this really is one of the better fairy tale/crime mash-ups I've ever read.

“Stories do not change the world. I’ve learned that. But perhaps in some secret, subtle way.... I mean it’s not the world I want to change.”
― Carol Emshwiller, Report to the Men's Club and Other Stories

“I've often been accused of harnessing genre strategies to mainstream ends. I do concede that relationships, characters, and introspection are my primary interest. The fanciful is of a secondary order of importance; I usually use it to approach the large issue of perception, so that my fantastical elements, while intended as real within the stories, occupy some borderland between reality and psychology.”
― Karen Joy Fowler, Black Glass

“I always had plenty of ideas. I didn’t exactly have them. They grew—little by little, a half an idea at a time. First, part of a phrase and then a person to go with it. After a person, then a little corner of a place for the person to be in.”
― Carol Emshwiller, Report to the Men's Club and Other Stories

“As I get older I find that the friendships that are the most certain, ultimately, are the ones where you and the other person have made substantial amounts of money for one another.”
