Just finished the “Lulu the Spy” section for the first time since it was published in *TheNew Yorker* after debuting on Twitter. So much has changed since then. I feel pessimistic.

I am not sure what to make of this. I remember when I read *A Visit From the Goon Squad* I loved it and was moved. Now when I’m moved it’s near a depressed feeling. Not sure where this is going. If the “eluders” can redeem this for me. How different things would feel if I reread the first book before this.
