"For some reason I thought this was a food history anthology when I bought it so the fact that it is personal essays was a bit of an adjustment. I don't hate it but it is for sure a bit hit and miss." — Oct 22, 2025 08:59AM

“I am convinced that most people do not grow up...We marry and dare to have children and call that growing up. I think what we do is mostly grow old.

“only between 5 percent and 20 percent of forcible rapes in the United States are reported to the police; a paltry 0.4 percent to 5.4 percent of rapes are ever prosecuted; and just 0.2 percent to 2.8 percent of forcible rapes culminate in a conviction that includes any time in jail for the assailant. Here’s another way to think about these numbers: When an individual is raped in this country, more than 90 percent of the time the rapist gets away with the crime. —”
