FOX & FAYVEL

I can’t help but think that Philip Larkin was right in his judgement of parental influence. All my neuroses are a perfect mirror image of my parents’ characters, flawless film negatives. I feel quintessentially neurotic. My mother says I behave like a bitter, sad and serious middle-aged man, but she’s eternally eleven and oblivious (whereas I’m every male protagonist in a Woody Allen screenplay, goggle-eyed and anxious). I don’t know, I want to write stories but there’s nothing to write about and I feel stuck. Must move out from home as soon as possible, move out for good, anchors aweigh. I want to belong to a group of pretentious, chain-smoking intellectuals. I want coffee. Or a glass of wine. And someone to kiss me. Having long ago smudged the lines between lonely and alone, I want to do something drastic, something explosive and self-inflicted. Oh, for God’s sake.
