Quote of the Day (Adam Haslett, on Subjects He Wishes More Authors Would Write About)

“How people experience the jobs they do; how, where, when and why people experience wonder and awe; and also politics, not in the electoral sense but in the lived sense. It’s so hard to do, particularly now, but so needed. We fight politically in two dimensions, but live in at least four.”—American fiction writer and journalist Adam Haslett, interviewed by Scott Heller, “By the Book: Adam Haslett,” The New York Times Book Review, Jan. 19, 2025
