“The girls accepted me as one of their own. There was a time when I tried to preserve some bodily autonomy — eating separately, taking the bus to the metro separately — but this self-separation very quickly lost any meaning. My personal life at the time was basically a catastrophe in its own right, so I felt at home at work, feeling both delighted and terrified, as alcohol and deadlines washed away the boundaries between private and public life.”
