he didn't mean me I listened with rapt attention to the Eleanor Wachtel interview with Jenny Diski. I think I was only about thirteen when I read The Vanishing Princess. The weird sex, but also the story about the woman who builds the bathroom, waiting years for husband and kids to disappear before having the endless bath...I certainly didn't consciously pick up on the major themes of the book when I read it then, but the sense of it and some specifics stuck with me. It was comforting and discomforting to hear her voice. She's still a bit insane, it's evident. But okay with that, which reminds me of my mum, which is bad (right now). The voice was gravelly and mature, and of course, I had the sense that I liked her. She lives across the street from her partner. This made me feel jealous. Actually, at the moment, I want to live across town from my partner. It's almost funny that I was reading those angry bitter pungent stories about suburbia awry, and now here I am...and I can't even claim ignorance... JD. and I had a moment today. In his backyard, burning an illegal bonfire. Community, and what the hell does this all mean, and desexualized women. I was guessing he didn't mean me. This was a close as I've come to flirting in a while. Nice. (Comment on this)
