Nicole Krauss, from Great House (via wwnorton)
The Norton Tumblr is 3 years old today! This quote from Nicole Krauss’s novel Great House was our very first post on August 30, 2010. And here we are 2,216 posts later. We just want to say thanks to the Tumblr community for making it so fun to share our love of books and reading with you all.
