On chilling the burn.............

 

When troubled, I read. I read obsessively about whatever is troubling me. It doesn’t solve the problem. It brings me distance. It chills the burn. It’s preferable to a bottle of scotch.

-Siri Hustvedt, Ghost Stories: A Memoir (Simon & Schuster, May 5, 2026), as quoted in this David Kanigan post
