"there was a woman. she was a big woman and she was a sad woman. she had been in her life to the mountains and to the oceans. she had seen the sand. she did not got to the desert."
— how seasons pass

"bertha schneider, nearly 31, was too disturbed to have any friends. she was like all other schlubs running around out there. loss was driving her crazy."
— some awful facts, recounted by bertha schneider

"morning broke. I mean, fell right on its goddamn ass and broke. no walking barefoot if you care about yr feet, kid."
— the new womans broken heart

"bertha schneider had once been a woman and was now an androgyne. as a woman she had lain for 8 years on her back with her legs open as the multitudes passed by leaving gifts of sperm and spit. now as an androgyne her legs were still open but at the same time they ran, jumped, swan, stood up, skipped, and squatted."
— the wild cherries of lust

"as she kissed his neck, bertha schneider remembered her unrelenting sadness."
— bertha schneiders unrelenting sadness

"she was slit in the middle, a knife into the abdomen, his head rose up from the bloody mess, indistinguishable from her own inner slime. this was his birth. success at least. her 40th birthday came and went."
— the slit
