I never thought I’d be able to do this: sitting on my own at a table in a restaurant/bar to have lunch. The idea of it always appeared to me as sad and desperate, so I was even relunctant to give it a try. However, the annoyance of feeding myself everyday with sandwiches (how spoiling [...]

“What I loved” – Siri Hustvedt
“Lies are always double: what you say coexists with what you didn’t say but might have said. [...] But spectacular lies don’t need to be perfect. They rely less on the liar’s skill than on the listener’s expectations and wishes”.
