Good Quote by Torrey Peters
“It's not just unexpected for other people. It's very unexpected for myself. But I think that's like a really good place to write from, when you're surprising yourself. Nobody was waiting for this. Nobody was like, 'What we want is a lumberjack novel.' In a lot of ways, that freed me to do whatever I wanted.”
