What started with the most powerful short story named „Cat Person“ for the @newyorkermag finally became a book that now is available in German too and obviously is not about cats. It’s about men and women and power and abuse and dreams and changes. 12 stories, all brilliant. @kroupenian // „And I think that assumption is bigger than Margot and Robert’s specific interaction; it speaks to the way that many women, especially young women, move through the world: not making people angry, taking responsibility for other people’s emotions, working extremely hard to keep everyone around them happy. It’s reflexive and self-protective, and it’s also exhausting, and if you do it long enough you stop consciously noticing all the individual moments when you’re making that choice. It’s in this context that Margot decides to have sex with Robert.“ Thank you @friederikeschilbach #catpersonstorys #kristenroupenian
