“In the bedroom I put on a sweatsuit I've had since high school, take the sheets off my bed, pick clothes up from the floor - dirty or clean it doesn't matter - put them all in the hamper, put clean sheets on the bed, pause to retch and weep, gather all the pillows and blankets from the rest of my apartment, get my computer, cocoon myself, watch TV. I order a pizza. I drift in and out of consciousness, letting their reality be my reality, eat the pizza, fall asleep with the TV on, wake up with the TV on, in and out, in and out, alone and lonely like I like it.”

“The West has largely privatized the internal life. We build expansive back decks and avoid our front porches. We con- nect only if it’s convenient and scheduled. We pull into the driveway, hit a button to open the garage door, and enter directly into our houses without any exposure to neigh- bors. The very nature of our architecture has reinforced the message of our internal detachment.”
