“No black woman writer in this culture can write ‘too much’. Indeed, no woman writer can write ‘too much’…No woman has ever written enough”
Bell Hooks, Remembered Rapture: The Writer at Work

Mavis Gallant
“Stories are not chapters of novels. They should not be read one after another, as if they were meant to follow along. Read one. Shut the book. Read something else. Come back later. Stories can wait.”
Mavis Gallant, Paris Stories

“I am a mammal, a dog, and a bichon frise--in that order.”
