| I learned a ton about the art world, and as a friend said, the sentence-by-sentence writing is stellar, exquisite even, as expected from Eggers. I love that he describes winter trees as "terrified and bare," and a love interest in her sixties as "a m ...more | |

| This New England fiction had so much potential, a narrative cascade through the centuries connected by a cabin in the woods, starting with the Mohicans and the first Puritan castoffs and ending a hundred years into our own future. Very Cloud Atlas ...more | |

I’ve never felt rage for a character like I did for Andrea. What a writer. Tom Hanks voicing the audiobook was fun. |

“The need is not really for more brains, the need is now for a gentler, a more tolerant people than those who won for us against the ice, the tiger and the bear. The hand that hefted the ax, out of some old blind allegiance to the past fondles the machine gun as lovingly. It is a habit man will have to break to survive, but the roots go very deep.”

“I like the dark part of the night, after midnight and before four-thirty, when it's hollow, when ceilings are harder and farther away. Then I can breathe, and can think while others are sleeping, in a way can stop time, can have it so – this has always been my dream – so that while everyone else is frozen, I can work busily about them, doing whatever it is that needs to be done, like the elves who make the shoes while children sleep.”

“At the kitchen table she examined the glass of ice. Each cube was rounded by room temperature, dissolving in its own remains, and belatedly she understood that this was how a loved one disappeared. Despite the shock wave of walking into an empty flat, the absence isn’t immediate, more a fade from the present tense you shared, a melting into the mast, not an erasure but a conversion in form, from presence to memory, from solid to liquid, and the person you once touched runs over your skin, now in sheets down your back, and you may bathe, may sink, may drown in the memory, but your fingers cannot hold it.”
