Editor's Disclaimer

To be very honest — nobody actually said this. AI wrote it in the style of the archive to keep this page from feeling empty while we chase down real quotes. Enjoy the fiction responsibly.

“Honestly, the book everyone's calling 'the voice of a generation' was rejected by forty-three publishers before one junior editor grabbed it from the slush pile because she was hungover and it was short. Literary greatness is 10% talent, 90% timing and chaos.”
