Curtis Sittenfeld : (3)

" I never write something and consciously embed political commentary or any other kind of commentary. I just try to get the characters into a room or out of a room, or onto the plane, or through the grocery store. The political stuff, the class stuff, the gender stuff, is in the air, it’s in their interactions, because it’s there for all of us. " - Curtis Sittenfeld

" Everything ‘Atonement’ does, it does incredibly well, including depicting characters of varying ages and temperaments and showing the intensity of early romantic love and connection and the very different intensity of haunting regret. " - Curtis Sittenfeld

" There are so many people who are so much better qualified to write about politics than I am. " - Curtis Sittenfeld
