“In a way, I was safe writing”
“whatever I was writing, I was always trying to write my way back to you.”
“When I wrote and got out of the way, writing did writing.” (p.90)”
“Writing a list of ways I could be betterand writing a suicide noteare the same thing”
“I spent years in a graduate literature program learning what makes great writing, and the only conclusion we came to was that the future of graduate literature programs was safe because nobody is ever going to agree on what makes great writing.”
“Then why don't I tell on him?If they don't, why don't I?Because.Because I am safe this way,silent unnoticed.”
