Heaven is Paved With Oreos
“So much for saving this special Italian giornale for a special occasion. Although this is a special occasion if you consider it a special occasion to be losing your mind.
I read Z’s journal. It was hard, but I did it. Actually, it was only hard at the beginning, and then I got into it. Then I was too busy reading. Now that I’ve finished, though, it is hard again. Hard2.
If Z took what she just wrote—what she wrote in her fancy Italian notebook with her expensive Italian fountain pen—and turned ...it in as a school English paper, she would get an A. She would probably win a school award or a state award for writing such a good memoir. A normal person would read it and think, Wow, this woman has had a remarkable life! Fooling around can have serious consequences! She really loves her family!
Not me, though. Because I can see what is missing, and what she has blurred. She wrote a story as crisp as The Conversion of St. Paul . . . but Caravaggio left a lot out of his painting too.MoreLess
