I really enjoyed “Eiffel Towers.” I liked the vintage eyeglasses setting and the people the protagonist met along the way. Such good writing. It felt honest and real.
I really enjoyed the story, too. Such cool sunglasses. :) Was there an implication that the protagonist had been raped? That was how I made sense of it, anyway. It explained (to me) why she interacted with the other characters, the female characters at least, the way she did.
Maybe, but I didn’t think of that. I thought men were treating her and other women badly. She was giving away her power until she gave away those glasses. I wondered if the story was meant as a satire.
Yes, I think your idea is probably more reasonable. It was the reference to the Storytelling movie and Bonnie's response that had me wondering about the rape possibility.
Back in Kiwiland out fundraising to get Saunders, P and G, roadshow down under. (Or self stateside.) Have $37.50 first night out storytelling busk as Billy the Bard, round a fire for passers by.
If anyone is in Cambridge UK there is going to be a talk in Jesus College where folk will be talking about Lincoln and the Bardo and some other important books. Too.
Welcome back to Denver! As a Lighthouse Writers Workshop junkie I am looking forward to seeing you tonight and at the Book Project events this Saturday. You are both loved and respected here and there is great anticipation at your appearance. Enjoy Denver and enjoy us!

I loved Paula’s book, The Distance Home. It feels weird using just her first name. But it felt weirder adding her last. So, here we are.
Anyway, I’m excited to read this next book of hers.
Greetings all,
Back in Kiwiland out fundraising to get Saunders, P and G, roadshow down under. (Or self stateside.) Have $37.50 first night out storytelling busk as Billy the Bard, round a fire for passers by.
Wish me luck.
Arohanui (big love.)
Iam.

Art and authoritarianism: Resistant fiction in an age of post-truth is what’s being chewed on. George is on the menu.

Nice meeting you today, Twanna - and your beautiful dogs.
I will be trekking to Golden! Counting the hours.
George please come to London soon
I am currently listening to the audiobook of Pastoralia - read by the maestro himself. Brilliant! :-)
