I'd really like to see smart sex writing, writing that can take sex apart and try to put it back together, that doesn't just put a box around sex writing and give it glaring neon lights but assumes that sex is part of everything else in our lives.
Rachel Kramer Bussel

Writers want to summarize: What does this mean? What did we learn from this? That's a very 19th-century way of thinking about art, because it assumes that it should make our lives better or teach us something.

We do not quite forgive a giver. The hand that feeds us is in some danger of being bitten.
