Alibis: Essays on Elsewhere by André Aciman

2 highlights

We’re traveling together separately. I want to be reminded of the Ithaca I lost; she’s after a new world.

“EMMA It was never intended to be the same kind of home. Was it? Pause. You didn’t ever see it as a home, in any sense, did you? JERRY No, I saw it as a flat . . . you know. EMMA For fucking.

― Harold Pinter, Betrayal
