I am going to be a bit of a fangirl here, but your book is honestly one of my favorite "comfort" books. I'm a 19-year-old gay girl so I found it very easy to relate to and just incredibly captivating. Every time I read it I always finish it wanting so much

Hey Liz,

Thanks very much—that’s completely fantastic to hear. I’m wholly delighted that CAM’s a “go to” comfort book for you. (And thanks for writing me to say so.)

All best!

“I happen to believe that the deepest value of fiction is that, in its very fictiveness, it is the one arena where we can, at least temporarily, take apart and refuse to compete within the terms that the rest of existence insists on. Market value may come to drive out all other human values, except, perhaps, in the country of invented currency, the completely barter-driven economy of the imagination. Fiction, when it remembers its innate priority over other human transactions, can deal not in price but in worth. And that seems to me an act filled with political potential, as well as with pleasure.”

- Richard Powers (via mttbll)

The unexpected beauty of transferring olive oil from our oversized, cupboard-stored Costco container to the smaller bottle that perpetually sits atop our stove. Thanks for these tiny bubbles, Filippo Berio.

“We rarely moved things; the Blackwoods were never much of a family for restlessness and stirring. We dealt with the small surface transient objects, the books and the flowers and the spoons, but underneath we had always a solid foundation of stable possessions. We always put things back where they belonged. We dusted and swept under tables and chairs and beds and pictures and rugs and lamps, but we left them as they were; the tortoiseshell toilet set on our mother’s dressing table was never off place by so much as a fraction of an inch. Blackwoods had always lived in our house, and kept their things in order; as soon as a new Blackwood wife moved in, a place was found for her belongings, and so our house was built up with layers of Blackwood property weighting it, and keeping it steady against the world.”

- Merricat Blackwood in Shirley Jackson’s wonderful (creepy and atmospheric) We Have Always Lived in the Castle.
