sour grapes from joshua kimmich: "Arsenal is completely different. They rely on set pieces. They love to play the long balls. They love to fight for the second balls. It’s a completely different game."
uh, Gunners scored twice and racked up an xG of 1.58 from open play, compared to Bayern’s 0.47.

I'm appreciating Cusk's ear for working-class eloquence.
--------
An epiphany (which I also thought immediately was the word) is an internal realization, but a road-to-Damascus moment suggests a confrontation with a force greater than oneself. FWIW

this book has more class-mixing already than OUTLINE. i think it's a balancing act (which i feel at my age pretty good at) making someone not in your class feel comfortable around you. i refer class-mixing whenever i have the choice.

I've had my run-in with noisy-thumping-past-midnight neighbors, screaming matches (including their teenage son) and having a door slammed on my face, and now we act like we never did any of that and say hello and hold doors for each other and wish each other happy holidays.

'he seemed somewho to have been filled in. In those days he was a sketch, an outline'
He seems little changed as has the place. 'One benefit of going away...was that it made it easier to change.' In change is a fear of the loss of self.
