Reading Response

I loved the interviews with hideous men reading. It was a lot of fun to be given complete freedom to imagine these people. The images I get are composites of people I’ve run into and met. Greasy, swanky guys who love to talk. I especially liked how concentrating on one of their fixations gives you a great idea of what these guys look like, walk like, and think about most things. I was really interested in the bathroom stall one because of the wonderfully character-driven responses, and the bashful guy who doesn’t understand that when he is yelling Victory for the Forces of Democratic Freedom he is probably not referring to the democratic party.
