For the cult of the body in the 1920's, choreographed mass experience turned into a more intense form of self-intoxication. Just as the troupes of girl dancers amalgamated themselves into a single led twirling millipede, combat units also synchronized their members into a formation that was more than the sum of its individual parts."

G L is on page 53 of 658 of The Blind Assassin
You could picture [the buttons] on long underwear, holding up the flap at the back, and on the flies of men’s trousers. The things they concealed would have been pendulous, vulnerable, shameful, unavoidable—the category of objects the world needs but scorns.

Was reading actually an occupation? How could she return to reality after spending hours sinking into worlds that didn't exist other than in the imaginings triggered by printed words on the page? Wouldn't someone like her, someone who had read Pizarnik, and who would weep at the thought of one of her poems, as the detective had witnessed multiple times, be the guilty one?

G L is starting Mrs. Bridge
Mrs Bridge said she judged people by their shoes and by their manners at the table. If someone wore shoes with run-over heels, or shoes that hadn’t been shined for a long time, or shoes with broken laces, you could be pretty sure this person would be slovenly in other things as well.
