I loved The English Understand Wool (whereas The Last Samurai, not so much), I've read the New Yorker profile of Helen DeWitt and I'm aware of the recent award imbroglio .... but I'm not plugged in/savvy enough to 'get' the point of this. Oh well.
That story is sad and I guess profound because of her iability to conform to societal norms so she was stuck forever. U understand. No one could help, they tried. Try to tell me, is that absurd or just the edge stubbornness. I guess that is why Substack was invented. God tried to send help, refusing all attempts to help, you die.
Ohhhhh, I LOVE THIS ONE! It is so much fun and such a great pairing with your recent post about The Fountainhead (one of my all time favorites.) As always, thank you for sharing with us.
God, I hope people are going to be normal about this. Get behind me, oomf. You have my sword, Ms Kanakia.

this is sending me down the craziest rabbit hole

A clever story. Could this be something of a wish-fulfillment fantasy for the author's own circumstances?
I had fun with it, and will be back in due time for a reread. Best wishes for your own book-launch!
Your ending 😂
