In uncertain times, Michelle turns to crime novels, the one certain world in which reasoning is logical, evidence is crucial, mysteries are solved, and the good guys win.
Jennifer calls her Aunt Judy (famed commenter on LWON), asks how she’s doing. “Terrible,” she says. So Jennifer calls her dad, asks how he’s doing. “Terrible,” he says. You don’t want to know.
I complain about good people — not people who are ordinarily good, but people who are good of their own necessity. The problem is, you can’t write about them.
Sarah is not only a writer, she’s a painter. She’s been looking for a particular shade of blue all her life: “the bruised underside of a storm when the sun is at a 4-o’clock slant.”
Cassie, doing nothing in particular, gets MRSA. You don’t want to know about that either, just stay away from it. The good news is, lots of times you recover.
