Chris Offutt Quotes
Reading Wasn't An Attempt To Educate Myself. It Was My Chief Escape From A World That, Although Gorgeous In Landscape And Rich With Mountain Culture, Didn't Provide What I Needed - The Promise Of Adventure, A Life Beyond The Perimeter Of Hills. I Often Fantasized That I'd Been Adopted And Had Mysterious Powers Such As Flying Or Teleportation. Books Offered The Promise Of A World In Which Misfits Like Me Could Flourish. Within The Pages Of A Novel, I Was Unafraid: Of My Father, Of Dogs, Snakes, And The Bully Across The Creek; Of Older Boys Who Drove Hot Rods Close Enough To Make Me Jump In The Ditch; Of Armed Men Parked Near The Bootlegger.
