“When I was eight years old, I wrote a paragraph-long short story about a goat on my mother's hundred-pound, black-and-white-screen laptop. The story came about largely because I liked the way the word 'goat' looked on the page, but I decided then and there that I wanted to be a writer. That desire never changed.” WayYearsLongStoriesWantedMotherDesireBlackWhiteChangedPagesHundredDecidedEightScreensPoundsShort StoryBlack And WhiteNever ChangeGoatsParagraphLaptops Author:Tea Obreht

“I don't think paper will go away. I do believe that the value of paper will change, and Xerox is working on changing that value. Consider a color page.

“The other day I found her passport in her drawer when I was putting away my dad's laundered handkerchiefs. I wish I hadn't. For the purpose of my story, she should have it with her. I sat on my dad's bed and flipped through page after empty page. No stamps. No exotic locales. No travel-worn smudges or creases. Just the ID information and my mother's black-and-white photo which if it were used in a psychology textbook on the meaning of facial expressions would be labelled: Obscenely, heartbreakingly hopeful.” IfsShouldStoriesWould BeUsedMotherPurposeFoundWishBlackWhitePsychologyInformationExpressionDadBedPagesEmptyShould HaveMy DadSatHopefulBlack And WhiteWornStampsExoticTextbooksDrawersPassportsFacialFlippedHandkerchiefsFacial Expression Book:A Complicated Kindness: A Novel Source: A Complicated Kindness: A Novel
“Simon's walls were covered in what looked like pages ripped from a comic book, but when I squinted, I realized they were hand drawn. Some were black-and-white, but most were in full color, everything from character sketches to splash panels to full pages, done in a style that wasn't quite manga, wasn't quite comic book.” BookDoneCharacterHandsBlackWhiteStyleColorWallPagesI RealizedComicCoveredBlack And WhiteComic BookRipped Book:The Darkest Powers Series, Book 1: The Summoning Source: The Darkest Powers Series, Book 1: The Summoning
