"Observations about life from a Roman emperor from almost 2,000 years ago. Remarkably fresh, simple, and pertinent. Filled with rational emotion and practical aphorisms. When I read this the first time, I felt like I was receiving loving guidance from a dear friend. The writing is that simple and relatable. Seriously, Marcus was an emperor, and you never feel like he’s talking down to the reader!"

A Blind Man Can See How Much I Love You
A Blind Man Can See How Much I Love You

"Bloom is talking about love, yes, but there’s nothing ordinary about any of the love stories in this book. There’s always a catch, and there’s always something that takes her story into unfamiliar terrain. As I read her book, I became almost frightened to see where she’d take me next. It was always someplace I’d never been; but in the end it felt very much like home."

"Another strong stylist that I imitated for a while was a woman named Joy Williams who had a short story collection called Taking Care. She has such a singular voice. It hasn’t really changed over the years. I remember she was talking about a girl having a fantasy about her beau and she said, ‘He was feeling fine, and fancy too.’ It was such music to me."
