About me:
All the books I'm reading, I've noticed, have a horse and rider on the cover, which is weird because there’s hardly a thing in common between them besides the fact that often people ride horses for pleasure or travel or to escape into some brilliantly cruel and natural landscape in order to test one's resolve in the presence of said cruel and natural landscape: George Eliot's Middlemarch and Cormac McCarthy's Border Trilogy, and when I drive home after picking up more baby food at the Walmart (the only place to shop in York, Nebraska), I pass this section of town, a rolling green section not overtaken yet, miraculously, by corn, and there are 5 or 6 horses there grazing, slowly, beautifully, and I glory yet again at the way all bodies have been made to accommodate their surroundings, a horse’s neck exactly as long as the distance to the grass, our own hands exactly as long as it takes to reach almost everything, but I digress: the horses. I cannot make it past this pasture without tearing up, swallowing, glancing back at Nora in her car seat, mouthing an empty water bottle. Don't think about those horses. Don't you think about them right now. You are driving. Driving is very important right now. Then, waking up around 3 one morning, I remember something Grandpa Smith said in a hospital room, doped up on morphine, before his surgery, sure that the black and white tiles were coming up, moving away to expose hands, faces, the pain and fear of the past, the body turning against itself, dying. He said: Don't hold back, Kid. There's no reason to. If you have horses, ride them. Don't just put them out to pasture. Am I in the stable? Am I saddled? Am I saddled?

Who I'd like to meet:
Gertrude Stein, John Steinbeck, Frankenstein, Einstein, Rodgers (but only if Hammerstein is with him), Gloria Steinem, and the man who invented the Steinway piano: Richard Gere.
