Canadian Quotes: Silvia Moreno-Garcia

On July 15th, we celebrate Silvia Moreno-Garcia!




The future, she thought, could not be predicted, and the shape of things could not be divined. To think otherwise was absurd.

But they were young that morning, and they could cling to hope.

Hope that the world could be remade, kinder and sweeter. So she kissed him a second time, for luck. When he looked at her again his face was filled with such an extraordinary gladness, and the third time she kissed him it was for love.

- from Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia




About this series

Every day this July, the yak occidental is posting a quote from a book by a Canadian writer to celebrate Canada Day on July 1st. Celebrating Canada is complex, and we must remember the violent and genocidal history our country is founded upon.
