“I was always reading inappropriate novels when I was a teenager. I would read anything with an explicit sex scene… They were the kinds of books you would find left behind in a summer cottage, and they were giving me information as a high school student I didn’t have.”—Lorrie Moore
The most important books I’ve ever read are the ones I had to read in semi-secrecy. As someone who writes mostly for teenagers, it’s my fondest wish to have one of my books be as formative for some reader as Nancy Friday was for me. (Actually, come to think of it, maybe I shouldn’t have read Nancy Friday when I was nine.)
