“Jim was there, too, Amelia’s husband, a man whom Vanessa would have liked to enjoy less. He was a pretty fantastic guy. This was confusing for Vanessa. It suggested that Amelia, too, was fantastic.”
Sharma Shields, The Sasquatch Hunter's Almanac: A Novel

Topics Mentioning This Author

“Leave, instead. Get away for good, far from the life we’ve lived since birth. Settle in well-organized lands where everything really is possible. I had fled, in fact. Only to discover, in the decades to come, that I had been wrong, that it was a chain with larger and larger links: the neighborhood was connected to the city, the city to Italy, Italy to Europe, Europe to the whole planet. And this is how I see it today: it’s not the neighborhood that’s sick, it’s not Naples, it’s the entire earth, it’s the universe, or universes. And shrewdness means hiding and hiding from oneself the true state of things.”
Elena Ferrante, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay
