Kindle Notes & Highlights
Lizzie Borden (who was acquitted) was very likely a mass murderer. (While I believe we need more jump-rope rhymes inspired by female murderers, this one is factually incorrect. Lizzie did not give her father forty whacks, nor did she give her mother forty-one. She gave him around ten and her around twenty. Childhood: so hyperbolic.)
Who hasn’t lain in bed next to her lover and wished that, coitus concluded, she could turn her head a balletic one-eighty, unhinge her jaw, and snap off the head of the man lying insensate next to her.
