This was the contradiction that would define me for years, my attempt to secure undiluted solitide and my swift betrayal of this effort once in the spotlight of an interested man. I was pretending not to worry about the consequences of my isolation. But whenever I talked to anyone, I found myself overcompensating for the atrophy of my social muscles.
the true highlight of this book is the writing. sardonic. dirty both literally and figuratively. edie in her fleabag era and then some.
