Book cover for The Removed

“I would never want to live anywhere but Baltimore. You can look far and wide, but you'll never discover a stranger city with such extreme style. It's as if every eccentric in the South decided to move north, ran out of gas in Baltimore, and decided to stay.”
John Waters, Shock Value: A Tasteful Book about Bad Taste

“Paper Matches

My aunts washed dishes while the uncles

We come bearing supper,
our heads on fire.”
Paulette Jiles
