Iris Murdoch
“Indeed, now I come to think of it, nearly everything in the world is relevant to my situation.”
Iris Murdoch, The Sea, the Sea

Christopher Buehlman
“If you’re looking for a story about nice people doing nice things, this isn’t for you. You will be burdened with an unreliable narrator who will disappoint and repel you at every turn.
Still with me?
Too bad for you.
I can’t wait to break your heart.”
Christopher Buehlman, The Lesser Dead
