More From Elizabeth Kostova

Darling, you asked me to write you a letter, so i am writing you a letter. i do not know why i am writing you this letter, or what this letter is supposed to be about, but i am writing it nonetheless, because i love you very much and trust that you have some good purpose for having me write this letter. i hope that one day you will have the experience of doing something you do not understand for someone you love. your father
Father Love You Writing
I like "rock, paper, scissors two-thirds." you know. "rock breaks scissors." "these scissors are bent. they're destroyed. i can't cut stuff. so i lose." "scissors cuts paper." "these are strips. this is not even paper. it's gonna take me forever to put this back together." "paper covers rock." "rock is fine. no structural damage to rock. rock can break through paper at any point. just say the word. paper sucks." there should be "rock, dynamite with a cutable wick, scissors."
Funny Humor Cutting
Consciousness-raising is at the very least supposed to bring about an intimacy, but what it seems instead to bring about are the trappings of intimacy, the illusion of intimacy, a semblance of intimacy.

I'm not offended. lenny bruce taught me that everything's funny. you can make everything funny. i don't think that assassinations are funny, i don't think you can make fun of isis, but almost everything is funny. and if we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? so i don't mind ethnic humor. i like ethnic humor. i like dialect jokes. laughter is a very subjective thing. if it's funny to you it's funny. and a lot of things are funny to me.
Laughter Fun Thinking
The problem is that we live in an uptight country. why don't we just laugh at ourselves? we are funny. gays are funny. straights are funny. women are funny. men are funny. we are all funny, and we all do funny things. let's laugh about it.

A letter is not a dialogue or even an omniscient exposition. it is a fabric of surfaces, a mask, a form as well suited to affectations as to the affections. the letter is, by its natural shape, self-justifying; it is one's own evidence, deposition, a self-serving testimony. in a letter the writer holds all the cards, controls everything about himself and about those assertions he wishes to make concerning events or the worth of others. for completely self-centered characters, the letter form is a complex and rewarding activity.

Character Typical Return
