Anonymous asked: Hi! I stumbled upon this through mutual friends of ours. I too spent the first four years of my life in China and went to Dartmouth for undergrad. I find your photos, book selections, quotations and outfits remarkable and I was wondering if you have a list of favorite books you could share? Much appreciated (:

Anonymous asked: Since it's the giving season and you are a writer, I thought you might enjoy this little quasi-poem I found: To say more than the black and white let slip/Words like gift wrapping, a multi-hued cocoon/For that between us that we hoped would fly./---The talent of saying the unsaid.

Anonymous asked: May I recommend Andre Aciman’s “Alibis: Essays on Elsewhere” ? A few quotes: “Great books, like great cities, always let us find things we think are only in us and couldn’t possibly belong anywhere else…” “Writing sees figures where life sees things; things we leave behind, figures we keep.”
