Patricia Lockwood
“I was just thinking that you and I...have seen very different memes in our lives.”
Patricia Lockwood, No One Is Talking About This

Patricia Lockwood
“Previously these communities were imposed on us, along with their mental weather. Now we chose them—or believed that we did. A person might join a site to look at pictures of her nephew and five years later believe in a flat earth.”
Patricia Lockwood, No One Is Talking About This

Joyce Carol Oates
“You spared the adults in your household. You learned how if a thing is not
spoken of, even those closest to you, who love you, will assume that it doesn’t exist.”
Joyce Carol Oates, Rape: A Love Story

“My mother was in the hospital & everyone wanted to be my friend.
But I was busy making a list: good dog, bad citizen, short
skeleton, tall mocha. Typical Tuesday.
My mother was in the hospital & no one wanted to be her friend.
Everyone wanted to be soft cooing sympathies. Very reasonable
pigeons. No one had the time & our solution to it
was to buy shinier watches. We were enamored with
what our wrists could declare. My mother was in the hospital
& I didn't want to be her friend. Typical son. Tall latte, short tale,
bad plot, great wifi in the atypical café. My mother was in the hospital
& she didn't want to be her friend. She wanted to be the family
grocery list. Low-fat yogurt, firm tofu. She didn't trust my father
to be it. You always forget something, she said, even when
I do the list for you. Even then.

Chen Chen, When I Grow Up I Want to Be a List of Further Possibilities

Patricia Lockwood
“White people, who had the political educations of potatoes - lumpy, unseasoned, and biased towards the Irish - were suddenly feeling compelled to speak out about injustice. This happened once every forty years on average, usually after a period when folk music became popular again. When folk music became popular again, it reminded people that they had ancestors, and then, after a considerable delay, that their ancestors had done bad things.”
Patricia Lockwood, No One Is Talking About This
