  2. About the Author Susan Minot is a native to the Boston and North Shore region. She studied writing and painting at Brown University and received an MFA in writing from Columbia University. Minot is famous for her incorporations of minimalism’s small and precise brush strokes which clearly and effectively demonstrate the emotions of her masterpiece. Her titles such as Lust tell us what she thinks about people seeking or running from love. Ye she is not a pessimist; rather, she accepts that life “contains greater mystery than her words can say.” Having spent too many years in one place, bent over paper writing, Minot, who has an apartment in New York City, finds herself traveling and away from home much of the time.

  3. Significant Quotes “Teenage years. You know just what you’re doing and don’t see the things that start to get in the way.” “The less they noticed you, the more you got them on the brain.” “I could do some things well. Some things I was good at, like math or painting or even sports, but the second a boy put his arm around me, I forgot about wanting to do anything else, which felt like a relief at first until it became like sinking into a much.” “To open your heart. You open your legs but can’t, or don’t dare anymore, to open your heart.” “You’re gone. Their blank look tells you that the girl they were fucking is not there anymore. You seem to have disappeared.”
