“If you find the Great American Irony Binge to be intolerable, start with an active extraction of those ironic elements that reside in your speech, your clothing, your living space. Speak vulnerably. Behave vulnerably. Live vulnerably. And know in advance that the vultures will aim their hunger at you. This is the nature of the thing. The vulture lacks the imagination to think about how it feels to be dismembered.”
