more magic



I knew that the play would be about language — that if it was to exist at all it would need to exist in its subtext, in the collision between different kinds of language, the tension between what is said and not said. The speaker would be someone who uses language not to communicate but to distance, to obscure what she thinks from even herself.

i love photos of joan didion. remind me to show you the cover of one of her books when you are at my house. (ah, the words "when you are at my house" make me so happy! just a few days.)
