There is an entire cache of what critics call “beach reads,” books that are disposable, forgettable, anti-literary. And this is where I have changed the most as a reader and also as a writer. As I began to dig in to a lot of thrillers, I came to believe that entertainment and reading for pleasure can be transcendent; that while art might be a hammer it is also a mirror, changeable and subjective. And there is a point where the boundary of the thriller genre rubs hard against a much more vast literary tradition. A lot of great writers exist on this axis.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Will Lavender" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/will-lavender/thrillers-like-all-genre-fiction-remain-for-the-most-part-beneath/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0eb/will-lavender-84336_art_thrillers-like-all-genre-fiction-remain_665187.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0eb/will-lavender-84336_art_thrillers-like-all-genre-fiction-remain_665187.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0eb/will-lavender-84336_art_thrillers-like-all-genre-fiction-remain_665187.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Thrillers, like all genre fiction, remain for the most part “beneath.” There is a feeling in literature…” — Will Lavender", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“Literature is a writer's secret life recorded in symbols.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Will Lavender" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/will-lavender/literature-is-a-writer-s-secret-life-recorded-in-symbols/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/cec/will-lavender-84336_books_literature-is-a-writer-s-secret-life-rec_2721562.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/cec/will-lavender-84336_books_literature-is-a-writer-s-secret-life-rec_2721562.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/cec/will-lavender-84336_books_literature-is-a-writer-s-secret-life-rec_2721562.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Literature is a writer's secret life recorded in symbols.” — Will Lavender", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“What if you were always stuck in one place, your mind spinning and unable to go forward like tires clenched in mud, because the answers wouldn't reveal themselves to you?”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Will Lavender" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/will-lavender/what-if-you-were-always-stuck-in-one-place-your-mind-spinning-and/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/692/will-lavender-84336_answers_what-if-you-were-always-stuck-in-one-pla_3139296.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/692/will-lavender-84336_answers_what-if-you-were-always-stuck-in-one-pla_3139296.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/692/will-lavender-84336_answers_what-if-you-were-always-stuck-in-one-pla_3139296.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“What if you were always stuck in one place, your mind spinning and unable to go forward like tires clenched…” — Will Lavender", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "Person", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/will-lavender/#person", "name": "Will Lavender", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/will-lavender/", "image": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/wp-content/uploads/sms4s/authors/processed/b022/author-will-lavender-84336.jpg" }, { "@type": "ProfilePage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/will-lavender/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/will-lavender/", "name": "Will Lavender", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/will-lavender/#person" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0eb/will-lavender-84336_art_thrillers-like-all-genre-fiction-remain_665187.jpg" }, "description": "Will Lavender has 3 quotes on SMS4Smile.
