“It's always fun to talk about a novel.” — Susan Straight Quote

“It's always fun to talk about a novel.”

“The best thing I could say is you do have to be a really good listener. If I go to a family reunion, and there's 400 people there, everybody comes up and tells me their stories, right? And I think that when you're a good listener, and you can imagine how someone's talking, dialogue is your key friend, is it not?”

“The American fantasy of love is the 'meet-cute,' 'Love at first sight,' and 'You had me at hello!' The completely spontaneous version of accidental love, which doesn't care about demographics and social compatibility.”

“A good novel is worth more than the best scientific study.”

“I'm never doing a long novel again, truly.”

“Any setting can be a good setting for a novel.”
