I am grateful to my dear friend Tamim Ansary for his guidance and support and to the gang at the San Francisco Writers Workshop for their feedback and encouragement.

“Prođem pored jednog popa u Kajmakčalanskoj i pazi, ne radi se o popu, to je u redu, ali moram to da kažem, moji bogovi su bili živi ljudi, živeli su i žive na Zemlji, i svi su nešto činili na ovom svetu. I meni su mnogo toga olakšali. Danilo Kiš, Dušan Radović, Marsel Dišan, Čarli Parker, i da ne spominjem više ta imena, to je tako dosadno, važno je da je tih ljudi bilo, da ih je bilo dovoljno. Živi ljudi, moji bogovi.” ― Srđan Valjarević, Zimski dnevnik
“Then one day, we didn’t. My dad picked up the bottle and my mother picked up a bottle of pills. There was no turning back once that started. There had been a happy break when my mom found out she was pregnant with our little sister, Hayden Marie. I had been fifteen and thrilled. Patrick had been less thrilled. He was already out of the house at that point but came back because he didn’t trust our parents to take care of a baby. They did. They pulled their shit together and things had been great for a few years. I pulled my little Nissan into the driveway of my family home. It looked like every other home on the street,” ― Ali Parker, Sleeping with the Enemy
“the charmer. He schmoozed people. I was great at identifying a piece and could authenticate an artifact, but people didn’t like me. I had very little people skills. I was a nerd. I loved reading and studying. I had double-majored in college because I loved the idea of making money and I loved archeology. Unfortunately, the two were mutually exclusive. That led me to become an antiquities dealer. I never had to doubt what I was buying was the real thing. Alec was also an archeological sciences major, and when I couldn’t verify the authenticity of a piece, he could. We could divide and conquer. I sent him all around” ― Ali Parker, Sleeping with the Enemy
