“Maybe if I’d been someone else I’d see it differently. But isn’t that the crux of the problem? Wouldn’t we all act differently if we were someone else?”
Emily Fridlund, History of Wolves

“Winter collapsed on us that year. It knelt, exhausted, and stayed.”
Emily Fridlund, History of Wolves

“Later, I could get that drizzle feeling just about any time I saw a kid on a swing. The hopelessness of it—the forward excitement, the midflight return. The futile belief that the next time around, the next flight forward, you wouldn’t get dragged back again. You wouldn’t have to start over, and over.”
Emily Fridlund, History of Wolves
