"A young artist is like a sprinter, but an older artist is like an open water swimmer. There, out in the sea, your challenges are to maintain your pace. Even when you can't see anyone else around you…reassure yourself that the dark form moving beneath you is no monster you know, but the shadow of a cloud above.” - Hanya Yanagihara, speaking in #Pittsburgh last night Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Carnegie Music Hall and online for yesterday's final Ten Evenings lecture of the 2022/23 season with Hanya Yanagihara, and to carnegielibrary and publicsource for supporting this event! #HanyaYanagihara #ToParadise #Bookish #BookLove #Bookstagram #TBR #TBRlist #CurrentlyReading #ReadersOfInstagram #AuthorsOfInstagram
