Anita Shreve : (3)

" I have spent many hours on the beach collecting sea glass, and I almost always wonder, as I bend to pick up chunk of bottle green or a shard of meringue white, what the history of the glass was. Who used it? Was it a medicine bottle? A bit of a ship’s lantern? Is that bubbled piece of glass with the charred bits inside it from a fire? " - Anita Shreve

" As a novelist, I remain interested in the notion of a single reckless act and its consequences. " - Anita Shreve

" I edit as I write. I revise endlessly. I don’t go forward until I know that what I’ve written is as good as I can make it. " - Anita Shreve
