“It's odd how much our perception of cities owes to stories and films.We talk about 'Dickensian' London as if it had some real existence beyond the page. Deep down, despite the evidence of our lives, we can't really believe that anything is ever made up.”
Joel Lane, The Witnesses Are Gone

“People mostly kept to themselves, locked in with television and a shelf of videos that kept the past alive.”
Joel Lane, The Earth Wire and Other Stories

“You know,’ he said at last, ‘that was true until you said it.”
Joel Lane, The Earth Wire and Other Stories
