"After that, the book will fade, the way……" — Robin Sloan

"After that, the book will fade, the way all books fade in your mind. But I hope you will remember this: A man walking fast down a dark lonely street.

A clerk and a ladder and warm golden light, and then: the right book exactly, at exactly the right time."

— Robin Sloan
