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.

“To be brutally honest, I've never actually finished reading the literary novels I blurb. My assistant sends me a three-paragraph summary, I scan the first chapter, and I write something vague like 'luminous' or 'devastatingly human.' Everyone does it. The whole system runs on strategic friendships, not actual reading.”
