“Say the Midwest is boring. Say people judge you too much, know all your business and your family line to the third and forth generations. Say living here is like bipolar II, The one with fewer ups and more downs-- long, flat, featureless stretches you just have to get through. But reprieves, the small resurrections, when they come, are so unexpected, so good. This was the place we were leaving. And would keep coming back to.”

“The Siberian pitilessness, the essential ruthlessness of the Middle West as I knew it: an accepted thing.”
