@a1icent Read the whole Year of Glad opening scene again! It's a year after the final page so everything gets resolved there. (Except for Pemulis, of course, he'd simply been kicked out. 🤣)
@loracorkelley@parisreview 💯 (But yes, even the novel's very intentional mischaracterizations of race and gender are deliberate critiques of precisely what's wrong with, in, and about our present-day America, especially its more-or-less blind dependence on stereotypical masculinity.)
@NoraKenney_ We're not trapped, though. Wallace represented the way out with AA's 12 Steps because they had been for himself. I do talk with my neighbors in person. Cashiers and others waiting in line too. Already lost, however, some don't even know how to respond. It is entirely up to us.
