Two jobless grown-ups, we spent weeks wandering around our Brooklyn brownstone in socks and pajamas, ignoring the future, strewing unopened mail across tables and sofas, eating ice cream at ten A.M. a...
Uma cidade tão sufocante e pequena que todos os dias você esbarrava em pessoas que odiava. Pessoas que sabiam coisas sobre você. É o tipo de lugar que deixa marcas.
Jeez, wait, don’t get bent out of shape. But I was born bent out of shape. I could picture myself coming out of the womb crooked and wrong. It never takes much for me to lose patience. The phrase fuck...
Un montón de gente carece de ese don: el de saber cuándo desaparecer de la puta vista. A la gente le encanta hablar y yo nunca he sido muy hablador. Mantengo un monólogo interno, pero las palabras a m...
Jag har faktiskt känt mig sorgsen för min egen skull, då jag föreställt mig min slanka, nakna, bleka kropp där den flöt fram strax under strömvirvlarna på ytan, hur en klunga sniglar sugit sig fast vi...
I can do pretty much anything. A ghost has that freedom.
I’ve thought about you a lot over these years, been wondering about you. That’s what you do in here … think and wonder. Every once in a while someone’ll write me about you. But it’s not the same.
Un oraş atât de sufocant şi de mic, încât zilnic te împiedicai de oameni pe care îi urai.
I’m not sure what all the fuss is about. But we are working backward: dinner first, then drinks in one of the little nooks Campbell has reserved, a mini-closet where you can lounge expensively in a pl...
I’m not good at things like that: haircuts or oil changes or dentist visits. When I moved into my bungalow, I spent the first three months swaddled in blankets because I couldn’t deal with getting the...
Unremarkable, but with a brainy arrogance wafting from them.
We are all working from the same dog-eared script. It’s a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real, actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless...
It's so strange to think: A year ago today, I was undoing my husband. Now I am almost done reassembling him.
It's easy to like pregnant women-they're like ducklings or bunnies or dogs. Still, it baffles me that these self-righteous, self-enthralled waddlers get such special treatment. As if it's so hard to s...
It's a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real, actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless Automat of characters.
It's a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real, actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless Automat of characters. And if all of us are play-a...
It wasn’t that I truly felt bad that I’d upset my mother—it was more that I hated any debits in her column.
It was that summer, too, that I began the cutting, and was almost as devoted to it as to my newfound loveliness. I adored tending to myself, wiping a shallow red pool of my blood away with a damp wash...
It was silly but incredibly sweet, these people spending so much energy trying to figure me out. The answer: I don't like cherries.
