The Town Liar Quotes

“People always complain if the female character isn’t outgoing, outspoken, and feisty. She has to be strong, courageous, funny, and just…out there. If the character isn’t, then the book gets blasted...Well, I’ve thought about this a lot, and it makes me think people believe there’s something wrong with being quiet, introverted, and shy. Like, those are personality flaws, and people in real life who have them aren’t good enough to have characters based on them. Or people like me aren’t good enough.”
― J.M. Brister, The Town Liar
