I’d been writing about food. Everyone in food seemed to know everyone else; it was one long human centipede of fuckwittery, where not only was everyone suddenly a writer or a celebrity, but also chefs and sommeliers and even bloody butchers were stars, crossing oceans and running symposiums, Facebooking and tweeting and Snapchatting about the whole incestuous, writhing mess.

Some men need to witness female anger to believe in that woman’s love. Some women need to get angry to experience that love. Some people grow together like horrible species of lichen. My parents, I learned, were precisely this kind of symbiotic organism.

Кажется, я даже любила его. Так, как могла любить кусачий свитер, который мне слишком уж к лицу и потому выбросить его невозможно. И всякий раз, надевая его, я получаю восторженные взгляды и комплименты, а снимая, расчёсываю тело до крови.
