In the meantime, here are a few profiles: |
I want to drive across country and find out we’re everywhere, everywhere, in every corner and capital. I want to find sparkling little treasures of personality who harbor terrors in their bodies, who pop the pills. I want to drive back and know for the rest of my life that they are out there. I want to meet their boyfriends and wives and know that somebody loved them, somebody wasn’t scared. I want to be dazzled. I want to be taken to VIP rooms and atop mountains. I want to drive up dusty roads and see a haloed figure by the barn with electric eyes and worn clothes. I want to look at him and know I am understood.
…
I am creating this project for the terrorized seventeen-year-old who has just been through hell and back. She’s on the precipice of the rest of her life, but she doesn’t have the faith to know it, because all she can see, all anybody is showing her, is the dead end she feels surrounding her. I am making this journey for her, to help her through this, the hardest time in her life.
This is a beautiful book.
