I Hear Michael Jackson at the Diner
"Molestation did not hurt me as much as shame that surfaces. The point is not whether I experienced pleasure. But will I untie entrapment from trust, self-harm from intimacy."
Spearfinger
"Pearl had grown up knowing and not knowing her mother. It happened sometimes: a child raised by an aunt, by grandparents. The mother hovering at the borders of their lives."
From the Archives: Love, the Verb
Everyone thinks they know what love is, but most have no clue. Reading hooks' works on love, you’ll likely discover, for the most part, that nobody loves you. Not your family, not your friends, not your “lover.” You also might discover that you don’t love anyone either.
“Graziela” from Iris Hanika’s The Bureay of Past Management
"Friendship affords certitude above all, and that is what distinguishes it from love."
