"'I Who Have Never Known Men'” was the first novel I didn’t know what to do with—the first novel that, instead of frightening me or thrilling me, gave me an unmooring sense of disquiet....The book, an enigma, remained in my possession as I moved closer and closer to the end of the world."
“I Who Have Never Known Men” Is a Warning
The slim, disquieting novel, which has become a sensation on TikTok, imagines a child who finds herself at the end of the world.

The 1996 takeover of the Japanese embassy in Peru "'ought to be an opera,' [Patchett] remembered thinking... she even considered titling the book “How to Fall in Love with Opera,” but her editor told her bookstores would mis-shelve it in their 'How To” sections.'"
Lyric Opera’s ‘Bel Canto’ ripped from the heart, not the headlines
My pain, my pain, has now rehearsed. It has resounded in my heart, And now summons me to sing. For I have met terror on this land, But also kindness, humility, Deliverance and love. I must move for…

“Through annotation, I saw patterns in the book I’d scarcely been aware of, as well as countless small acknowledgments I’d embedded here and there: nods to literature and to friends, and to my life at that moment.”
Ann Patchett on Annotating Her Award-Winning Novel Bel Canto Twenty Years Later
If you’ve never read Bel Canto, this is not the place to start. Unmarked copies of this novel abound, and I suggest you get one of those if you want to come to the story without constant interrupti…

“Young men, starting out in life, have often asked me “How can I become an Internee?” Well, there are several methods. My own was to buy a villa in Le Touquet on the coast of France and stay there until the Germans came along. This is probably the best and simplest system.”

"Along with S.E. Hinton, Judy Blume and Robert Cormier, Ms. Duncan was credited with helping establish the genre of young-adult fiction — literature carefully tailored for readers who are neither children nor grown-ups, who know more than it may seem but not enough to make their way in the world."
Lois Duncan, whose suspense novels held teen readers spellbound, dies at 82
Her “I Know What You Did Last Summer” and “Killing Mr. Griffin” are classics of YA lit.

“I was quite horrified by the sensationalized violence...To have people screaming and laughing about it did not go down well…[But] I was happy that the book had been made into a movie, because that made all my backlist suddenly very popular. It was like getting a rebirth but in a very strange way.”
‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Author Was ‘Horrified’ by the Movie’s ‘Sensationalized Violence’ After Her Teenage Daughter’s Murder
Lois Duncan, who wrote the original 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' book, was taken aback by the film adaptation's graphic violence.
