BookwormjillkThe whole avocado pear terminology confused me for a hot minute. Then they put grape jelly in it and then I was really confused. Moving on.
As a teen I probably sympathized with Ester but I think I'm Jay Cee years old because man it frustrates me to supervise people who just want to be brilliant but not actually work. Good for her eating that caviar though.7h
dabbeAm I such a hard-ass that I'm finding it difficult to be sympathetic with her as she eats caviar while having an all-expenses-paid trip to NYC, and she's still not happy? She reminds me of Hubbell Gardner from THE WAY WE WERE, whose 1st line in his college creative writing class that was read out loud was the following: “In a way, he was like the country he lived in. Everything came to easily to him.“7h

Andrea313@dabbe The all-expenses paid trip and loads of caviar seem to signal her being spoiled but I think there's also a sense of alienation there from her more modest upbringing- she never ate in a "proper" restaurant before this trip, and her grandfather works as a waiter. She benefits from proximity to wealth, but doesn't fully inhabit that world and is trying to make sense of it all. I'm feeling a lot of empathy for this 19 year old kid- anyone else?17m
