      Damn this story lives up to the hype and then some. Hooray for fiction, hooray for its function https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/12/11/cat-person/amp …

      I will try to share some of the things the piece did for me. The way Margot recoils at Robert’s body (twice) is devastating, confirms worst fears about “female gaze” and the gymnastics (some) women undergo to summon physical desire for (some) men’s bodies

      Sitting in that discomfort with my own body I feel exactly like Robert; sensitive, injured, violent in my self-defense, desperate for soothingpic.twitter.com/KHmAQQOL9d

      Margot’s fantasy will later kinda play out with Albert but this passage feels sad and true; this imaginary boyfriend can’t exist because men are Roberts (unless they are not men, like Margot’s high school boyfriend)pic.twitter.com/3vYx4Svmg7

      Robert slips into the grotesque for me in his text messages at the end. Particularly the 3x “are you”. Maybe the writer wants to break the spell; the almost-funny horror ending wakes me up from the “I am Robert” nightmare

          lol one of the many reasons! this piece should definitely go into some "what's all the fuss about fiction" anthology
