The Changeling

by Victor LaValle

Patrice slipped a ladle from a drawer. “Crockpot chicken,” he began. “Chicken legs and breasts, half a jar of pitted olives, three teaspoons of olive brine, one lemon cut into slices, one teaspoon of Herbes de Provence, a cup of chicken broth, half a teaspoon of salt, an eighth of a teaspoon of pepper.”

I even get a good recipe from this book! LOL

Every human being is a series of stories; it’s nice when someone wants to hear a new one.

The world is full of glamour, especially when it obscures the suffering of the weak.
