Basic Info BioIn this city of desolations and existential excitements, full of monuments and cigarette smoke and lost umbrellas and gloves, they laid down their hearts in a one room apartment, and slept together, entwined.
Even now, Victoria says, I still find the shape of his body in my bed.
-Gail Jones, 'Black Mirror', 2002. Pg. 41
We are communal histories, communal books. We are not owned or monogamous in our taste or experience. All I desired was to walk on such earth that had no maps.
Michael Ondaatje, 'The English Patient' , 1992. Pg.261
Yet high over the city our line of yellow windows must have contributed their share of human secrecy to the casual watcher in the darkening streets, and I saw him too, looking up and wondering. I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.
-F. Scott Fitzgerald, 'The Great Gatsby', 1926. Pg37
Our dreams have been doctored. We belong nowhere. We sail unanchored on troubled seas. We may never be allowed ashore. Our sorrows will never be sad enough. Our joys never happy enough. Our dreams never big enough. Our lives never important enough. To matter.
-Arundhati Roy, 'The God of Small Things',1997. Pg53
'Now we know what it's like. It's worse than we'd ever imagined.They didn't prepare us for this at the death simulator in Denver. Our fear is pure, so totally stripped of distractions and pressures as to be a form of transcendental meditation. In less than three minutes, we will touch down, so to speak. They will find our bodies in some smoking field, strewn about in the grisly attitudes of death. I love you Lance.' This time there was a brief pause before the mass wailing recommenced. Lance? What kind of people were in control of this aircraft?
-Don Delillo, "White Noise", 1999, pg90.
