i actually read from a collected works, which i got second-hand. this is the only story the previous owner annotated, mostly references to time (three am.. a month later…) and two passages under which they wrote “oedipus complex”. some people 🙄.  anyway, capitalism begets alienation, it’s very sad 😔🪲
