My novel THE COVER GIRL is about a teenage model whose life is upended by a predatory rock star and the woman she becomes in the aftermath.

He doesn’t have a name. He doesn’t need one.

Many thanks to @electricliterature.com for letting me explore this choice electricliterature.com/the-power-of...

Friends rewatch observation #3: Their last name is Geller. Their dad is Elliott Gould. And it took until season 4 to mention anything related to being Jewish.

I wonder if raising a generation on neglect and heaps of shame leads to a world where Trump's screaming fits are seen as fatherly.

Friends rewatch observation #2 (TW: 9/11 trauma): How much 9/11 trauma came from familiarity with the Twin Towers vis a vis their use in scene transitions? Seeing images of Lower Manhattan every Thursday night for seven years and then — that.
