The Quarantine Tapes 090: Susan Orlean

“Books are immortal and they allow you to have this thing that none of us can actually have, which is an immortality and indelibility that books do have. That’s why I think, ultimately, it’s a very optimistic gesture to write a book or to record a story or to commit to paper a memory or observation. I think there’s this optimism that this will last and people will be able to experience this.”
