“In the city, everyone performs. Excepting the very rich and the very crazy, a person can’t just walk Manhattan’s grid as some gaping maw of need and id. Urban life demands a veneer, a pose.”
Alexis Soloski, Here in the Dark

“Warmth is not my forte. As far as the rich palette of human experience goes, I live on a gray scale. Aristotle said that drama was an imitation of an action. I am, of necessity, an imitation of myself — a sharp smile, an acid joke, an abyss where a woman should be. ...

Except when I'm seeing theater, good theater. When I'm in the dark, at that safe remove from daily life, I feel it all — rage, joy, surprise. Until the houselights come on and break it all apart again, I am alive.”
Alexis Soloski, Here in the Dark
