Book cover for The Yield
At the answering of the phone and the breaking of the news, she felt something dark and three-dimensional fall out of her body, something as solid as a self. She’d become less suddenly.

“Ultimately, I want a peak experience in reading, and that is sometimes difficult to find in contemporary fiction. I’m not interested in books that are just clever and well executed; polish doesn’t impress me, and I don’t care about a merely capable sentence. Life is short; I want a confrontation with high art. I want soul. Great literature rattles the mind and makes the body sing. It’s an unmistakable, electric feeling, and too rare. That is what I want.”
C.E. Morgan

“Your worst dungeon might be the room with the most windows.”
Rene Denfeld, The Enchanted

C.E. Morgan
“She thought soon all the land would sound like nothing, and no one would know it had once made sounds, that small civilizations had thrived in the grass. It would never register with life again. And what was coming? Concrete. Glassed fronts and sale signs and cash registers. And with it all, people in a torrential surge, carnivorous men and women looking to smear their skin with colors and creams, to bleach their hair, to shave their hides, to cinch themselves breathless in order to think themselves beautiful.”
C.E. Morgan, The Sport of Kings

“Judgement is often no more than a confession of ignorance.”

“The past demands fidelity,” she says. “I often think it’s the only thing that truly belongs to us.”
Darragh McKeon, All That Is Solid Melts into Air
