I thought -- I want to go home. I want to be in a place that feels like home. Where that was, I did not know.

Writing male characters is not very difficult because there is a vast canon of male characters written by men, for men, for any writer starting out to draw from. Finding the voice of a male character is in so many ways what a Ph.D. in American literature trains you to do. What felt, to me, more challenging was to write female characters, and so I took a little bit of time to get there. Writing female characters is something that holds so much depth and interest for me. It feels almost inexhaustible.

"It was only an anecdote. But it was one example of how the city's veneer of civility was constantly giving way, in places it was barely there at all."

"In The Triumph woman has won. She sits in stiff-backed rigidity, her obdurate mood emphasized by the sharp little points of her shoulders and the pillows behind her, one of which leads directly to the defeated man below her, mercifully hidden in a soft, slumping image of submission. The uncompromising geometrical accents of the two paintings which appear above her head seem like crowning symbols of the strict law she is enforcing. Vallotton presents this confrontation theme not as a grandiloquent myth, not in the guise of monsters or models of degradation, but in simple, even banal scenes from contemporary domestic life which now, so subtly, yet so powerfully, become new archetypes for the ancient issues of man versus woman."
