Susan Choi Quotes

I stopped writing short fiction early on - I was never really good at it, and I never liked the results. So I stopped trying to fit the material I was working with into these tidy little short fiction packages Picture Quote #1

I think ‘Gatsby’ is hobbled, in part, by its status as a Great American Novel. People kind of roll their eyes before they’ve even opened it, treat it with a ‘been there, done that’ attitude. I know I did. It took me years to re-open the novel and see how much I’d missed Picture Quote #1

It’s pathetic, but I don’t really remember my first time reading ‘The Great Gatsby.’ I must have read it in high school. I’m pretty sure I remember it being assigned, and I generally did the reading. But I don’t remember having a reaction to the book, even though I loved literature, and other works made a lasting impression on me at that age Picture Quote #1

I was the daughter of an immigrant, raised to feel that I needed to get excellent, flawless grades and a full scholarship and a graduate degree and a good job - all the stepping stones to conventional success Picture Quote #1

The complexity of the world is so overwhelming and so present to everyone Picture Quote #1

Graduate school is a really supportive environment, but in a way, it was only when that support vanished that I flourished Picture Quote #1

Innocence as we understand it in our culture is very theatrical. The flip side is, if you’re charming enough, you can get away with anything Picture Quote #1
