And judge it on that." / "Who cares about feeling like an adult! I want to feel like my self from always"

BOOKS / WRITING

The Best Book in the World / "A lot of people give advice based on their unique and singular experiences as if they can somehow draw universal wisdom from that. I suspect there is also an element of sabotage involved" / "Realism is a construct, the same as any other genre. In America, it sits in a place of privilege as something more literary and authentic—but this is about nothing but tradition" / the joy of typing / RIP Mary Rodgers / "Like most children, my taste was perverse; I gravitated toward impish protagonists who played mischievous tricks, threw fits, and caused general mayhem."
