I had a very very difficult relationship with my mother who was supremely self-centred. She was hilariously self-centred. She did not really take interest in anything that didn't immediately affect her.
If I can get you to laugh with me you like me better which makes you more...
I feel an intense intimacy with those who have this loathing interest in me....
I thought after the Pulitzer at least nothing will surprise me quite that much in my life. And another one happened. It was quite amazing.
