The story is recorded even when she is unsure of how it goes and now someone else follows after her, reading. Looking for the ending.”
The “she” Simon is talking about here is me of course. I got lost in these pages in the deep over and over again, but I kept writing and rewriting and following the story down, looping tunnels and dead ends and back again until I found the right path. And the someone else following after me is you, the reader, of course. Hello, hello, hello. Thank you for following all the way down.

“We are the stars,” he answers, as though it is the most obvious of facts afloat in a sea of metaphors and misdirections. “We are all stardust and stories.”
I have always liked the “we are all made of stars” concept and my friend Liberty Hardy would often sign off Twitter for the day with things like “good night, star bits” so I had it kicking around the back of my head as something to potentially work in somewhere, but I wanted to make it my own since the sentiment is a classic one. Once I settled on “we are all stardust and stories” I didn’t know where it would go or who would say it, or if maybe it would be carved on a wall or found scrawled in the margin of a significant book. But then it was a perfect answer to a question and Simon was the

“Spiritual but not religious,” Zachary clarifies. He doesn’t say what he is thinking, which is that his church is held-breath story listening and late-night-concert ear-ringing rapture and perfect-boss fight-button pressing. That his religion is buried in the silence of freshly fallen snow, in a carefully crafted cocktail, in between the pages of a book somewhere after the beginning but before the ending.
I get very particular about the rhythm of the words and the sentences and how everything flows and here I really wanted this to sound like a poem, like a mantra, like a spell. This is a book filled with forgotten gods and this is where we start to remember them, to blur the veil between the regular world and the otherworld, and part of the way we do that is to realize where those worlds have always overlapped.
This is one of my favorite things I’ve ever written and copyedits made me realize how bad I am at hyphenating.

A reading major, that’s what he wants. No response papers, no exams, no analysis, just the reading.
Ah, the dream. When I was much younger, I went through a phase where the analysis part sucked all the joy out of reading for me. I didn’t read nearly enough for personal enjoyment when I was in college (I was a theatre major), but I clearly and fondly remember the handful of books I read that weren’t for class and didn’t come with expectations. Einstein’s Dreams by Alan Lightman was one of those and remains a favorite. It’s also likely why I write in vignettes.

question:
Thank you so much, Elisa! I'm so glad that it resonated with you. I started writing it in late 2012, and it took 2.5 years for my first draft. I spent about 1.5 years revising, at which point I sent it out to agents. Once I signed with my agent, I sp

“In a way, he supposed, it was inevitable for immigrants to become child versions of themselves, stripped of their verbal fluency and, with it, a layer of their competence and maturity.”

“But that was the way life worked. Every human being was the result of a million different factors mixing together -- one of a million sperm arriving at the egg at exactly a certain time; even a millisecond off, and another entirely different person would result. Good things and bad--every friendship and romance formed, every accident, every illness--resulted from the conspiracy of hundreds of little things, in and of themselves inconsequential.”

“to Americans, verbiage was an inherent good, akin to kindness or courage. They loved words—the more, the longer, and more quickly said, the smarter and more impressive.”
