“The cats multiplied. New litters hit their first heat and inbred. Red Fox corralled them like a stout colonel with a monocle and declared to the other hounds that this was his territory. Most of the dogs shoved off after a day or two. But the cats remained and overran our porch, and as the spring warmed, so came fleas and the starving mews of wormy felines badly in need of a vet. One of my blog readers donated supplies. The stench of urine rose with the morning dew.”

“So, in my urgent rush to get everyone loaded, I tried to ignore the dog. Red Fox barked, upset and crazed, for a reason I couldn’t make out. I wondered if I should put him in the house while we were gone. But we were late, and the kids were in the car. I started the van and pulled out of the driveway.”

“The day came when he rounded the corner to my door with a dozen roses and a box. Will you marry me, my Tia? I said yes, focusing on cologne and magic hours, pushing down the resistance of traumatized children and age gaps and the traditionalism that came with carefully ironed creases.”

“In working-class France, when an apprentice got hurt, or when he got tired, the experienced workers said "It is the trade entering his body.”

“Out of a human population on earth of four and a half billion, perhaps twenty people can write a book in a year. Some people lift cars, too. Some people enter week-long sled-dog races, go over Niagara Falls in a barrel, fly planes through the Arc de Triomphe. Some people feel no pain in childbirth. Some people eat cars. There is no call to take human extremes as norms.”

“I cannot imagine a sorrier pursuit than struggling for years to write a book that attempts to appeal to people who do not read in the first place.”

“Lust is a poor, weak, whimpering, whispering thing compared with that richness and energy of desire which will arise when lust has been killed.”
