| Page's entire Future Day Saints project is a masterpiece. I've collected, read, enjoyed, and treasured all the other volumes in this series, and his new one, "The New Arrivals," is an essential and excellent new chapter. The story is wonderfully time ...more | |

“For the new year. – I’m still alive; I still think: I must still be alive because I still have to think. Sum, ergo cogito: cogito, ergo sum.1 Today everyone allows himself to express his dearest wish and thoughts: so I, too, want to say what I wish from myself today and what thought first crossed my heart – what thought shall be the reason, warrant, and sweetness of the rest of my life! I want to learn more and more how to see what is necessary in things as what is beautiful in them – thus I will be one of those who make things beautiful. Amor fati:2 let that be my love from now on! I do not want to wage war against ugliness. I do not want to accuse; I do not even want to accuse the accusers. Let looking away be my only negation! And, all in all and on the whole: some day I want only to be a Yes-sayer!”

"Picked up this short story in its connections to Piranesi (Susanna Clarke was influenced by it) as well as A Short Stay in Hell. The style fits that sort of faux-academia that I'm a sucker, but I'm not sure the message of a meaningless universe being"

| Rueckert's beautifully written memoir is a masterpiece. I did not expect it to be so powerfully meaningful to me. Being in middle age, I did not expect to learn anything new about marriage. I was wrong. So many gems of insight and wisdom conveyed gen ...more | |

“It seemed funny that one day I would go to bed in her arms and the next not feel anything, like a switch had gone off. But no, that wasn’t honest either. This had been building for a long time. Our silences were getting longer. Our arguments more frequent. How do you stay with someone when there are no dreams to build? No purpose to accomplish? No meaning? No meaning —that was the monster that drove us away from one another in the end. Always.”

“The days passed in a dream. I pictured our reunion again and again, played it out in my mind over and over until I’d almost worn a groove in my thoughts, so deep that it seemed the only thing I could think of was our reunion. Anticipation is a gift. Perhaps there is none greater. Anticipation is born of hope. Indeed it is hope’s finest expression. In hope’s loss, however, is the greatest despair.”

“Strange, how a moment of existence can cut so deeply into our being that while ages pass unnoticed, a brief love can structure and define the very topology of our consciousness ever after.”
