"A medium could escape a lonely marriage, a tortured inner life, a deadening routine. Even the tricks of the seance room might be a necessary subterfuge for those deprived of love or denied power,"--Kate Summerscale, THE HAUNTING OF ALMA FIELDING #FridayReads

"An indefinite longing, that she had been only vaguely conscious of at times before, became now a recognizable wish. It was so absurd, so embarrassing a desire, that Therese thrust it from her mind,"--Patricia Highsmith, "The Price of Salt." #FridayReads

"There were moments when he felt his whole being in some as yet inscrutable stage of metamorphosis. There was the deed he had done, which in his hours alone in the house...he felt sat upon his head like a crown,"--Patricia Highsmith, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN #FridayReads

"'We've been in the so-called revolutionary era for ages...And it's just the same as ever. It's still the ones who work the most who eat the least, and everyone goes right on thinking that's just great,'"--Simone de Beauvoir, THE MANDARINS. #FridayReads

@melissafebos Happy birthday! I’m currently reading and obsessed with “My Government Means to Kill Me” by Rasheed Newson. It’s a funny and sexy queer coming-of-age story set in NYC during the 80s. May your birthday be filled with joy and books!

"These moments of clear inspiration require that we move into them on faith...We are the instrument more than the author of our work,"--Julia Cameron, THE ARTIST'S WAY. Yes, I drank the Kool-Aid. #FridayReads

Over a decade ago, I saw Patti Smith read from JUST KIDS at a @SeaArtsLectures event. This weekend, I spent time with her while she signed copies of A BOOK OF DAYS for @ElliottBayBooks ahead of her latest SAL event. It was a joy and honor to bask in her presence. Truly an icon. https://t.co/S7seHJlyJ8

The latest issue of @LiberReview is out, and I'm stoked that my nonfiction piece about Girls Gone Wild and other sexualized women of the nineties is included: https://t.co/S4kmIwVcic. It's $.99 to download, but if you don't buy a coffee today, you can buy it like four times.

I am very excited for all the awesome writers and stories @JoylandMagazine is nominating for the Pushcart. But I simply must single out @amy_stuber_ and her glorious story "Dead Animals." It absolutely blew me away. Read it here: https://t.co/vvXG9140jx https://t.co/CZIHPzYfFz
