    Just finished "Fleishman is in Trouble" last night—ingenious—and have concluded should start dressing like Tom Wolfe. She's his natural heir but with a woman's sensitivities. The all-white suffragette suit would finally make sense.

    Seemingly random q: Anyone out there know of a compelling story about a broken-off engagement? For a podcast project I'm working on for the NYT. You can DM me or reply here or email me or send a carrier pigeon; I'm not fussy.
