Our East European friends frown upon the "American re-inventing of
existentialism." They're like: where were you 30 years
ago. I mean, here's Amelia who starts four out of five of her stories
with "when I was a young existentialist..." I wish I've met
her when she was a young existentialist, but I wasn't even born than. As
for me, I traveled to Europe in order to meet a young
European existentialist, but I run into Nora instead. And I'm telling
you, they may've invented existentialism, but we,
Americans, we've perfected it!
Anyway, which of the following is true for you
