War Is Language : 101 Short Works (9781937316044) - Plot & Excerpts
It’s Christmas Eve. We’re supposed to be hanging stockings for children who were never born. Is there some way that I can keep myself from going over to my ex-husband’s apartment and eviscerating him with a butcher knife? Dear Calm & Collected, What you want to do in this case is pack as much ancillary meaning into your life as possible. It’s sort of a trick, because those huge things like marriage and children and holidays are annoyingly large meaning suckers. It’s not like nutritional data, circulation, passing motorcycle cops, manganese, incidence numbers for worldwide injuries, neon green eye shadow, wrinkled silk suits, shadowboxing, sleek cars rushing through sunlit tunnels, pleated leather, plated scallops, a black calfskin sectional couch, heels on a chair back, freckles, butterfly migrations, cots and footlockers, snakeskin mini-trench coats, puppies in the mountains, pearl drop earrings on a cobblestone side street, sequin tentacles, and an updo stuffed with paper begonias.
