Maryse had grown up on the mouth of the Mississippi with the rushing murmur of the river’s dead in her ears. She could hear Fogg River’s dead now, whispering under the crash of the water on the struts and the stones.
“Anna wondered what it was that was so alienating about cars. Somehow, more than any othter machine, they seemed to create a world of their own, a mobile pack-rat midden full of personal artifacts that utterly separated man from the natural environment he hurtled through.”

“My irritation began mounting as he and Arnold volleyed Leslie's unchallenging, simplistic questions. "Do you feel intimidated by women taking up more space in the art world?" What fucking space? I thought. We were given the corners men deemed too dark and dusty. "How do you think the softness of women's work helps to reinforce the linearity of men's art practices?" Who the fuck said women's art existed to do or say anything about men's art practices?
"Leslie, this might be controversial to say here," Jack said, with the air of a provocateur, and I could feel the room -- the men, especially -- lean in toward him, eager to lap up the crap he was about to serve. "Because I admire what you've done. But should this gallery even exist?”

“You'd think she'd be relieved," I said. "From what I hear, he beat the shit out of her."
"Not at first. She was crazy about him when he first got out. Still is, actually."
"That's probably why she called him the world's biggest asshole at the funeral," I remarked.”

“The last thing I need is the sheriff on my case. That's who I thought you were, as a matter of fact. They got women sheriffs these days, did you know that? Sherifettes."
"So I've heard."
"What about you?" she asked. "How'd you become a detective. That's a weird way to make a living, isn't it?"
She was becoming real chatty now that I was on my way out and I wondered if I might pump her for more information. She seemed eager to prolong the contact, like someone who's been cooped up too long with a pack of preschool kids.
"I sort of backed into detective work," I said, "but it beats selling shoes.”
