"... and although it occurred to me to call the desk and ask that the air conditioner be turned off, I never called, because I did not know how much to tip whoever might come - was anyone ever so young? I am here to tell you that someone was." (no one writes being young in a fast new city the way didion writes being young in a new city, frankly)

in retrospect, perhaps reading this essay on the same day i watched logan alone (and then sobbed about it in the cab on the way home) was not one of my more sensible life choices....

"...All I could do during those three days was talk long-distance to the boy that I already knew I would never marry in the spring. I would stay in New York, I told him, just six months, and I could see the Brooklyn Bridge from my window. As it turned out, the bridge was the Triborough, and I stayed eight years." (too real w the truth, joan! so real!)

"It is easy to see the beginnings of things, and harder to see the ends. I can remember now, with a clarity that makes the nerves in the back of my neck constrict, when NY began for me, but I cannot lay my finger upon the moment it ended, can never cut through the ambiguities and second starts and broken resolves to the exact place on the page where the heroine is no longer as optimistic as she once was."
