"A lot of the collection comes back to how I feel about San Francisco, which to me has never been about the bridge or Alcatraz. It's the specific feeling that lands about six minutes after you finish the burrito. It's the cluster of renegade parrots shrieking overhead where you least expect them. It's the nicknames only outsiders use. I don’t care what people call it—it’s still the best city I've ever lived in." —Tucker Nichols
