His personality was irascible, Jewish-liberal paranoid, masculine-chauvinist, self-righteous, and cynical. Complaining constantly about life, but helpless; wanting to become an artist, but afraid of sacrifice. In intimate moments, he confided his fear of death; under the exaggerated words, it was his narcissism... also had merit, eg? Watching "Gone with the Wind" makes me cry.
A short story about people who live in Manhattan. They keep creating unnecessary problems for themselves so they don't have to face more unsolvable problems in the world. Content must be optimistic. Why is it worth living? This is a very important question because some things are worth pursuing. Like what? In my case, one of them is Marx, and the second movement of the Willie Mays Jupiter Symphony Orchestra, and the Louis Armstrong "Bumbo Blues" record. Of course, there are also Swedish films, Flaubert's "Sentimental Education", Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra, and Cezanne's paintings of apples and pears, the crab at Sanhe Restaurant, and Tracey's face.
