Chapter 29 — Husks
Chapter 29 – Husks begins by spotlighting how resourcefulness emerges when people are pushed into corners of necessity.

November 2, 2010—I knew we were headed for a bad night. I watched the returns come in from the Treaty Room, my usual election-night perch, Valerie and Axe and Gibbs with me. It was not the bloodbath that some had predicted—thank you, consistency!—but as the evening wore on, it was clear that we were losing the House of Representatives. By the time I went to bed, Republicans had picked up at least sixty-three seats, more than enough for a majority. To say I was discouraged would be an…-

Chapter 21 – "Like Master Like Man." begins with a wry commentary on the frustrations voiced by many housewives about the perceived decline in servant quality. These complaints often overlook the complexities of domestic service and focus instead on minor inconveniences or personality flaws. The irony lies in how much is expected of servants with so little reciprocated in understanding or regard. Unlike in earlier times when household staff were viewed almost as extended family, the modern arrangement,…

Chapter 20 — “The Treadmill”
Chapter 20 – "The Treadmill" begins with the weary voice of a woman crushed beneath the weight of her daily obligations. Her letter outlines a life dictated by endless engagements—sporting events, committee meetings, fundraising luncheons, music lessons, and obligatory dinners—all leaving no space for reflection, rest, or even a moment with a book. Her schedule, far from being leisurely or fulfilling, reads more like the itinerary of a public figure than that of a private individual. This exhausting…-

Chapter 2 – The Moth and the Star delves into an intriguing paradox within American culture—the fascination that ordinary people have with the lives of the wealthy, despite having no direct connections or shared experiences with them. This deep interest in the lifestyle of the rich and fashionable is explored in contrast to the norms of European societies, where the admiration for aristocracy is often rooted in centuries of tradition and hereditary privilege. In contrast, America’s lack of a…
