I'm Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself: One Woman's Pursuit of Pleasure in Paris

by Glynnis MacNicol

I can be angry about only so many things at the same time. And even then, I’m not very good at it.

I don’t want to work. Can I not work? Can I release myself from my own deeply embedded strict schedule that has enabled me to remain a freelancer this long? What will happen if I do?

Do all women do this? Insert themselves in real estate as though trying on an outfit.

We leap and flail and take up as much space as we can with our bodies.
