“I once wrote a suicide story: A woman watches a truck bearing down toward the place on the sidewalk where she stands waiting to cross. She thinks, ‘If that truck were to run me over I wouldn’t have to think what to get for supper.’ The truck passes. The woman crosses to the supermarket and takes out her shopping list. It was called ‘Truck.”

“Did you ever hear of cognitive dissonance?” she asked.”
