“I suppose my ability to
tell a story came from my good nature and a desire to keep everyone [in the
family] together. Catholicism also was the perfect prep. Religion, in general,
is story-based and teaches you to believe in what you can't see, and I did.”—American
novelist and bookstore owner Ann Patchett, quoted by Marc Myers, “House Call:
Ann Patchett—A Late Reader, She Made Up Stories,”
