My essay “Behind the Caves” is up at The Rumpus.
It’s about high school, my 20th high school reunion, Facebook, the Coolest of the Cool, the Nerd Elite, fumbled lines, missed points, and the ways in which we try — and often fail — to “only connect.” You can read it here. Thanks!
I found it interesting in that I never made it to a HS reunion. They had one but we were in Puerto Rico. I remember some of the girls I palled around with and how my tastes changed. Wanting to be “in” with a group was very important and sometimes clouded judgment. It was an all girls school, so no boys were involved. Your writing flowed and was easy to read.
