She was clothed entirely in two large swatches of leather, the leather fake and shiny in a self-mocking way, absolutely correct for 1993, the first year when mocking the mainstream had become the mainstream.

More From Gary Shteyngart

Fake is not a word i like to use because there's nothing fake about what i do. it's a show, it's a predetermined outcome; we're putting on a television drama, action, comedy, whatever you want to call it - but it's not fake. fake would be if i was just about to take a body slam, and my stuntman did it. fake would be if i was going to take a chair shot to the head, and the chair was made of rubber. i'll tell the world that it's a show, but i hate the word fake. it's such an unfair term to us.
Hate Drama Fake
I don't think fake people living in a fake house in a fake suburb are any less dismissible or believable than a fake psychic attending a fake school in a fake town. nothing's inherently believable about any kind of fiction, because all of it's untrue.

I was on television a couple of years ago and the reporter asked me, "how does it feel being on mainstream media? it's not often poets get on mainstream media." i said, "well i think you're the dominant media, the dominant culture, but you're not the mainstream media. the mainstream media is still the high culture of intellectuals: writers, readers, editors, librarians, professors, artists, art critics, poets, novelists, and people who think. they are the mainstream culture, even though you may be the dominant culture."

She smiled. she knew she was dying. but it did not matter any longer. she had known something which no human words could ever tell and she knew it now. she had been awaiting it and she felt it, as if it had been, as if she had lived it. life had been, if only because she had known it could be, and she felt it now as a hymn without sound, deep under the little whole that dripped red drops into the snow, deeper than that from which the red drops came. a moment or an eternity- did it matter? life, undefeated, existed and could exist. she smiled, her last smile, to so much that had been possible.

I've always hate child stars, starting from way back when, when i was a child. the first child star i saw was shirley temple. she was six years old, two foot six and the biggest star in hollywood. she wore ribbons in her hair, and frilly little pinafores and shiny patent-leather tap shoes - just like the boys in glee do.
