Bummer.


From Anne Enright's Yesterday's Weather:

"Rubber", she says, “provides us all with an elastic amnesty . . . to pick up dead things, to engage in sexual practices...”

“Nothing is incomprehensible,” she writes, “when you know that life is sad.”

NYT Review

Bonus! Vonnegut quote:

"All great literature is about what a bummer it is to be a human being."
