George Saunders

Insulted, Explaining

Is there anything sadder than the foods of the 1950s? Canned, frozen, packaged concoctions, served up by the plateful, three meals per day, in an era in which the supermarket was king, the farmer's market was, well, for farmers, and the word 'locavore' sounded vaguely like a mythical beast.
Jeffrey Kluger

Word, Three, King

Rob Sheffield

Feeling, Whatever, Getting

Yourself, Sick, Rather

Ben Barnes

Dad, School, Different

I revise constantly, as I go along and then again after I've finished a first draft. Few of my novels contain a single sentence that closely resembles the sentence I first set down. I just find that I have to keep zapping and zapping the English language until it starts to behave in some way that vaguely matches my intentions.
Michael Cunningham

Single, Down, Find

My father was overbearing. Very controlling. He was always the way he is, even before my success. He was not always a good person. He'd play mind games to make sure I knew my place.

Macaulay Culkin

Success, Good, Mind

Good, Special, Soldier

Someone, Envy, Pretty
