An excerpt from our new book, Full Stop: The Book.

This novel is a captivating, fable-like story about a family that lives each day the same as the last in order to suspend the passage of time. It is a quirky, beautiful, and warmly humorous reflection on how the fear of our own mortality affects the way that we live our lives.

I’ve always marveled at the architectural lexicon and the placid furiousness with which it names every feature, every ornament, every force.

In a way, Jobs is a homage to that pulp sensibility within which all the different modes of genre writing intersected in one insanity-producing cauldron.

I like my characters complicated. People are complicated.

Blood you can wash off. But not whiteness. It’s underneath the blood.

When we try to flip through any one of the volumes lining the desert island’s shore, we find that its pages have been bleached by sun and surf.

Think of how it must feel to lose everything you’ve ever worked for to the showy unpredictability of a nature growing over the millennia. No one is ever safe.
