Marguerite Young
“For me, a plain Middle Westerner, there is no middle way. I am in love with whatever is eccentric, devious, strange, singular, unique, out of this world—and with life as an incalculable, a chaotic thing.”
Marguerite Young

John Irving
“There was something about the Midwest in her that Wallingford loved.”
John Irving, The Fourth Hand
