Really enjoyed this collection. I think I thought it would have a bit more cohesion, but that's okay. If you go in knowing that, I think you'd like it a lot. I've always been curious about Love and Rockets and probably will read more—I liked the real ...more
John and 4 other people liked Guillaume Morissette's review of The Overstory:
The Overstory by Richard Powers
"“Humankind is deeply ill. The species won’t last long. It was an aberrant experiment. Soon the world will be returned to the healthy intelligences, the collective ones. Colonies and hives.”"

disgusting and scary.

Very Stephen King-coded, but extremely trans and queer. There's some really fabulous metaphorical/allegorical framework to the book that makes it stand out from the clear influences (which GFM doesn't try and pretend is not there

Quotes by John Elizabeth Stintzi  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Write what you do not know, which I think is particularly helpful because—not to sound too much like Socrates—I’m not really convinced that anyone knows anything."
@Stintzi”
John Elizabeth Stintzi

“In his little apartment, alone, Ash set his cocktail of alarms”
John Elizabeth Stintzi, My Volcano

“Quando gli chiesero un commento sul vulcano, il candidato repubblicano alla presidenza rispose che se fosse stato eletto presidente, avrebbe reso l'America di nuovo libera dai vulcani.”
John Elizabeth Stintzi, My Volcano

Topics Mentioning This Author

“Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.”
Terry Pratchett, Jingo

“Sometimes taking time is actually a shortcut.”
Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

“Down in the city are the nice houses and the so-so houses and the lovers making out in dark yards and the babies crying for their moms, and I wonder if, other than Jesus, has this ever happened before. Maybe it happens all the time. Maybe there's angry dead all over, hiding in rooms, covered with blankets, bossing around their scared, embarrassed relatives. Because how would we know?”
George Saunders, Pastoralia

“If living is to progress, if you are lucky, from foolishness to wisdom, then to write novels is to broadcast the various stages of your foolishness.”
Jane Smiley, 13 Ways of Looking at the Novel

“Things shouldn't hinge on so very little. Sneeze and you're highway carnage. Remove one tiny stone and you're an avalanche statistic. But I guess if you can die without ever understanding how it happened then you can also live without a complete understanding of how. And in a way that's kind of relaxing.”
Miriam Toews, A Complicated Kindness
