“Genre is a bookstore problem, not a literary problem.” — Rick Moody Quote

“Genre is a bookstore problem, not a literary problem.”

“It turns out that my memory is just not that great, so for specific scenes with people doing stuff, sometimes I'd have the details all wrong or I couldn't remember what happened exactly, so I just let that be.”

“I didn't know how to kill off a character unless I was able, as a narrator, to get really complicated. Because it was a big deal. I'd never killed a character before.”

“I can never leave a bookstore without buying a book. I read four or five at a time.”

“Owning a bookstore was right up there with acting in life goals, but other than swaggering around the store, I'm not much use.”

“A bookstore is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking.”
