"I wanted to be fine and strong and quit the law and reach deep and write a big book that some woman on a train would crush to her breast halfway through and sigh. But I could see myself on the table at the autopsy, the doctor turning to the class and looking up from my chest cavity a little puzzled and saying, “I’m glad you’re all here for this medical first. He didn’t have any. There’s no gumption here at all.”"

I jotted down this quote but forgot to add a citation. Nearly a year later I came upon it and can't for the life of me remember where it's from. Anyone know? It's driving me nuts.
