CONTRAST - Reading List 29

La Piccioletta Barca

Our discussion this month was focused on contrast. Here was the Merriam Webster definition of it, for some inspiration!

The list

  • Excerpt from 'Jacques Derrida' by the School of Life
  • Paragraph from the essay "My Beautiful Friend" by Grazie Sophia Christie
  • Anne Beattie's "Snow"
  • Anonymous: ""Fuck that!" I would yell. "I don't have a mood disorder! My moods are in full operating condition -- turbo-charged and firing on all cylinders. What's wrong with all these other fuckers is the real question, those emotionally-stunted boring-ass fucks. What's wrong with them? Why are they not laughing hysterically one moment and weeping the next? Are they willfully numb? Do they not see the gaping maw of existence laughing at them? I'm not broken - they're broken. I don't need to take meds, they do. Why do they ride the dumbness machine, why do they co-sign the numbness contract? Empathy-challenged meatheads. Give those fuckers some meds to make them finally look up from their zombie charts and graphs and FUCKING FEEL SOMETHING!”"
