Chang-Rae Lee Quotes

I think book clubs should read more contemporary poetry Picture Quote #1

What if loving something means you should mostly feel frustrated and thwarted? And then a little ruined, too, by the pursuit? But you keep coming back for more? Picture Quote #1

In my teaching, I try to expose my students to the widest range of aesthetic possibilities, so I’ll offer them stories from Anton Chekhov to Denis Johnson, from Flannery O’Connor to A.M.

What’s fun about a dystopian novel is that we can enjoy and be entertained. But that world is only slightly different, right? It’s familiar enough to be recognizable, and skewed enough to give us pause Picture Quote #1

My writing day follows my family’s day. I get a good few hours in the mornings when the kids are out of the house. And I don’t work at night any more. I like to see my family Picture Quote #1

For me, that’s always been one of the great charms of the first person: we gain access to a very personal, private kind of music Picture Quote #1

I write on a computer. On breaks, I’ll make myself green tea. I don’t want something too caffeinated. I guess I don’t believe in chemical enhancement of my writing. Just slight, but nothing crazy Picture Quote #1
