“Literature differs from life in that life is amorphously full of detail, and rarely directs us toward it, wheras literature teaches us to notice. Literature makes us better noticers of life; we get to practice on life itself; which in turn makes us better readers of detail in literature; which in turn makes us better readers of life.”

“Harvey’s prose has an instinct for a kind of exact magic. ‘Even when you sleep you feel the earth turning,’ she writes. ‘You feel all the days that break through your 7-hour night. You feel all the fizzing stars & the moods of the oceans & the lurch of the light through your skin, & if the earth were to pause for a second on its orbit, you’d wake w/ a start knowing something was wrong.’ Is this how it really feels? I’m persuaded by its imaginative accuracy” #JamesWood https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/12/25/orbital-samantha-harvey-book-review
