“Political partisanship, Washington predicted, would reduce the government to a crowd of bickering representatives who were very good at thwarting each other but got very little accomplished for their constituents. And for all his talk of unity, he had come to see people as for or against his administration and had little patience for criticism. Unbridled partisanship was his greatest fear, and his greatest failure was that he became increasingly partisan.”
Alexis Coe, You Never Forget Your First: A Biography of George Washington

“In the mind of the public, she seemed endowed with an almost supernatural power to commit heinous acts, no matter the time or place.”
Alexis Coe, Alice + Freda Forever: A Murder in Memphis

“The nights were advantageous, too. After they kissed their families goodnight, it was expected that they would share a bed, their bodies close, their movements obscured under the covers.”
Alexis Coe, Alice + Freda Forever: A Murder in Memphis

“A liar is always lavish of oaths.”
Pierre Corneille

“I imagined a book that was both written and curated. I wanted readers to see my research, to explore the archival mix, connect with the material, and draw their own conclusions.”
