My husband would say that I was never the writer in the cliché scenes with the ashtray full of cigarettes and the cursor flashing on the first sentence.

I've never minded the solitude, I actually love it, but now with Debris out, I think the best thing is having your work read and enjoyed. There's nothing like that.(less)

A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
"I am angry that this book exists, I am angry that this sad, sick, shoddy fantasy is being treated as award worthy literature, that I was duped by it into an unearned emotional response.
