Claire Dederer isn't a
Goodreads Author (yet), but she
does have a blog,
so here are some recent posts imported from
her feed.
My book will be in stores tomorrow. Earlier today my husband led me outside to our yard. He pointed at the corner of the lawn where we have been planning (but not planting) a vegetable garden for the last two years. He said, "Look. There's no garden there." Then he pulled a copy of my book from behind his back. "But you made this instead."
Sometimes I really, really like him.

“I had discovered something; there was a pleasure in becoming something new. You could will yourself into a fresh shape. Now all I had to do was figure out how to do it out there, in my life.”

“I carefully lifted out of the pose and spoke up: "Uh, Fran? When I'm doing the pose (camel), I have this feeling in my chest, kind of a scary, tight feeling."
Fran was adjusting someone across the room. She had a way of looking like a thoughtful seamstress when she made adjustments: an inch let out here, a seam straightened there, and everything would be just right. She might as well have had pins tucked between her lips and a tape measure around her neck. Without missing a beat or looking up she said, "Oh, that's fear. Try the pose again."
Fear. I hadn't even known it was there.”

“Reality is an easy commodity in the Front Range. There's weather, and there are animals that are thinking about eating you, and there's all that beauty. It sort of whomps you on the head. It's strange that we use the word "unreal" to describe beauty-it's my experience that beauty drags us by the hair into the real.”
