“She writes only in pencil, as if the words might need to be revoked--borrowed words, for the most part, plucked out of other mouths...”
Dawn Tripp, Game of Secrets

“I BOUGHT THIS house for the door. The house itself was a ruin, but I had to have that door. Over the years, I’ve painted it many times, all different ways: abstract, representational, blue, black, brown. I’ve painted it in the hot green of summer, in the dead of winter, clouds rushing past it, a lone yellow leaf drifting down. I painted the door open only once. Just before he died. In every picture after, it was closed.”
Dawn Tripp, Georgia: A Novel of Georgia O'Keeffe

“He'd dust the dirt off with his fingers, wash it in his mouth so it came lean off his tongue like a language.”
Dawn Tripp, Game of Secrets
