I didn’t expect the book to sell in the first place. I was hoping for a quick and merciful death at the hands of reviewers but at the same time I sort of hoped that maybe someone would like it enough to give me encouragement. Public encouragement. I hoped for a little, as I said, but I got rather a whole lot, and in some ways this was just about as frightening as the quick, merciful death I’d expected Picture Quote #1

Bloom County was set in a tidy, rural environment probably because of Harper Lee’s ‘To Kill a Mockingbird Picture Quote #1
