Which leads me to ask if this is what writing is. Writing is the collision of thoughts with events, translated into a material form and then back again into the whisper of a feeling.
But when the action is happening elsewhere
-for example, when your world is puny because you are in love-perhaps the writing is happening elsewhere. The writing is the urgency to translate and contain what is happening, when what is happening demands to be contained.

The best essays were ‘Yellow City’ ‘Blueberries’ and ‘A Museum of Rape’ as they were reflective and written really well. The others I was not as impressed with, mostly because they seemed almost repetitive - reflecting on her travels, ex lovers, and moving, with the some moments of critical reflection on her privilege or status within the world. I’ve recommended my favorite three essays to many people but wouldn’t recommend the whole book.
