a friend reminded me of this story recently. I hadn't read it since becoming an SP, and with my newfound life experience it's such a funny read...
 
priceless, put an ironic smile on my face.

Pale, nervous girls with black-rimmed glasses and blunt-cut hair lolled around on sofas, riffling Penguin Classics provocatively. A blonde with a big smile winked at me, nodded toward a room upstairs, and said, "Wallace Stevens, eh?" But it wasn't just intellectual experiences. They were peddling emotional ones, too. For fifty bucks, I learned, you could "relate without getting close." For a hundred, a girl would lend you her Bartok records, have dinner, and then let you watch while she had an anxiety attack.

Have to admit I missed the refernces to Trilling Auden and McCarthy but then again I wasnt a lit major (as you can tell from my spelling) Makes me homesick for the old days sitting around the pub at uni espousing great ideas lol
