Adam And Evil (1999)
Adam And Evil
“Not that we were committing a crime, I thought. It wasn’t a crime scene we were violating, only a crime-scene victim’s condo, and I didn’t think I’d heard of a law about that.
But Beth! We’d never, as long as I could remember, had anything resembling an adventure together. We’d shopped together, visited together, shared holidays, family gatherings, and childhood memories, but nothing like this. Half the reason I dragged my exhausted self out again was for the sheer implausibility of being so su...mmoned by my older sister, whose role had always been to restrain, advise, warn, and stop me.
And who knew what H. Emily Fisher Buttonwood meant by “clearing out” her apartment? She most likely had underdeveloped housekeeping habits—cluttered drawers and closets, disorganized pantries, wash forgotten and mildewing in the machine. The list came easily to mind because it was my list, too. The same set of compulsions that had me cooking up a storm for the unknown Juliana. I had a clean-up pact, only half jokingly, with my friend Sasha, who was to save me from posthumous shame.MoreLess
