Even though I don't have brown eyes, that it like cultivated a feeling of like, just a brown eyed girl up here, you know, like girl next door kind of feeling. And that that was another thing that the customers liked to feel, you know, it was kind of like a homey feeling. Yeah. So I think...
But, you know, these things aren't so different than life itself, like noticing qualities in the rest of life, which I was doing all the time anyways. I mean, like in my first collection of short stories, I think there's only one story that has a peep show in it. So the amount of noticing I was doing at that in my 20s was across the board. And...
Most of what I was noticing was not in that club or in Mr. Peeps.
I mean, the things that make me most happy to read are like women who, while they were reading the book, felt kind of exposed. Like, oh no, this is like my whole inner life exposed here in this book. And, you know, I've had people tell me that like they were reading it on the plane and they felt like they...
at a certain point had to put it away not because of the sexual content but because like they were sitting next to their husband and it was all their all their true feelings that they weren't saying um and that's always kind of astonishing to me like oh writing can do that like i i um I get a lot of messages from older women who say like, oh, this all happened to me.
My all fours time was 20 years ago. But I'm stunned to realize that I wasn't alone. I thought I was uniquely crazy or irresponsible or something. And so they're just, it's like a reframing of their life to have the community from the book.
