"At first, this seemed too tame, too boring even. But then I remembered whose book I was reading, laughed, and winked at the author.
Yeah, I see you, I know what you're doing and I will NOT be pulled into a false sense of security. No sir!

"
Reading this, I had "the feels". 
And the last page only made it worse!
It was just a description of the author and his work for crying out loud! ... Which is exactly what I did! Crying. Out loud.
Aaaaanywaaaaaay. The book.
As a fan of the Discworld I ...more "

"The Whimper of Whipped Dogs was a truly sickening story but one I have no trouble believing is as close to reality as you can get with fiction (which might be exactly what made it so uncomfortable to read)!
It's about New York City (I've never been a fan) and was written after Ellison learned of a tragic, infuriating, and deadly real-life event." — Sep 21, 2024 12:43PM

“Many of the ardents who train there seem pretty wise to me," she said. "After all, they shave their heads.”
"They…" Kaladin frowned. "Syl, what does that have to do with being wise?"
"Hair is gross. It seems smart to shave it off."
"You have hair."
"I do not; I just have me. Think about it, Kaladin. Everything else that comes out of your body you dispose of quickly and quietly—but this strange stuff oozes out of little holes in your head, and you let it sit there? Gross."
"Not all of us have the luxury of being fragments of divinity."
"Actually, everything is a fragment of divinities. We’re relatives that way." She zipped in closer to him. "You humans are merely the weird relatives that live out in the stormshelter; the ones we try not to let visitors know about.”

“During those empty, sleepless nights, I thought a lot about The Knife as an idea. A knife was a tool, and acquired meaning from the use we made of it. Language, too, was a knife. I could cut open the world and reveal its meaning, its inner workings, its secrets, its truths. It could cut through from one reality to another. It could call bullshit, open people's eyes, create beauty. Language was my knife. If I had unexpectedly been caught in an unwanted knife fight, maybe this was the knife I could use to fight back.”
