Kate Folk Hi Donna! Thanks for this question. There isn't a firm connection honestly. I wanted the character to be from somewhere midwestern and suburban, and I鈥辞谤别Hi Donna! Thanks for this question. There isn't a firm connection honestly. I wanted the character to be from somewhere midwestern and suburban, and I must have landed on Wheaton after doing some internet research. I grew up in Iowa, but often find myself rooting characters in Illinois, maybe because it's similar but not exactly like where I grew up. There was also something about the name "Wheaton" that felt evocative to me, a kind of American everytown, symbolic of the stasis the narrator longed to eject herself from (though I'm sure it's a very nice place in reality)(less)

Quotes by Kate Folk  (?)
Quotes are added by the 欧宝娱乐 community and are not verified by 欧宝娱乐.

“We've stayed put through worse storms,' Elise's mom said.

'It's not a tornado, Mom. It's a curtain of absence that negates everything it touches.'

'Might as well be negated in our own house, then.”
Kate Folk, Out There

“My female friends have all coupled with men who are feeding off their organs and whose organs they are feeding off of, a symbiotic process that will continue until they break up or one of them dies. If and when they return to me, single again, they'll be diminished in body and spirit - feet swollen from renal failure, or eyes jaundiced, or breath coming short, a piece of their lung or liver or kidney on a shelf in some man's house.”
Kate Folk, Out There

“My career writing ad copy to exploit women's physical insecurities has rendered me expert in the minutiae of female beauty. In this sense, I am like a judge of pedigree dogs or horses. When I say that this woman is flawless, I do not mean it lightly. She possesses no attribute that I would, in good faith, suggest augmenting or reducing, highlighting or minimizing, smoothing or shaping or lengthening or rejuvenating or otherwise subjecting to any of the verbs I employed daily to describe the infinite ways in which a woman might fail to achieve her corporeal potential. I would not know how to sell her a thing.”

“Such uncertainty was the nature of existence. We brought things into our lives, and time passed. Things exited our lives. That was about all that ever happened.”
Kate Folk, Out There

“In the past I had approached dating with a typical fervor of an addict.”
Kate Folk, Out There

“The need for employment, for money and status, felt like an abstraction, a pointless flailing of his ego.”
Kate Folk, Out There

“Instead, the Last Woman on Earth had been handed a talk show, not because she deserved it, but simply because she was a woman. The Last Man on Earth dies with resentment in his heart.”
