Mark Salzman“Every moment a beginning. Every moment an end.”
Mark Salzman, Iron and Silk“It's a mean story, Helen fumed. An absentee father who demands that his children put him at the center of their lives and beg for his return. Sister Priscilla didn't think it was mean, apparently. She was so in love with God that she had married him, even though she would not see his face, hear his voice, or feel his embrace for as long as she lived. One of us, Helen, thought is flying blind.”
Mark Salzman, Lying Awake“My writing is how I maintain.”
