“In the past, heartland whites with some kind of dream or desire left their towns for cities to become citified. They wanted to get away from religion, from their families, they wanted to come out, make art, have sex, have experiences. But this new crew was something we had never seen before. They were the first generation of suburban Americans. They came, not to be citified, but rather to change cities into places they could recognize and dominate.” FirstsKindArtDreamWantedPastDesireLeftSexCitiesGenerationsTownsGet AwayCrew Author:Sarah Schulman
“The company that employed me strived only to serve up the cheapest fare that the customer would tolerate, churn it out as fast as possible, and charge as much as they could get away with. If it were possible to do so, the company would sell what all businesses of its kind dream about selling, creating that which all of our efforts were tacitly supposed to achieve: the ultimate product -- Nothing. And for this product they would command the ultimate price -- Everything.” IfsKindDreamEffortCompanyAchieveProductsCreatingUltimateSellsCustomersSellingCommandGet AwayTolerateEmployed Author:Thomas Ligotti
