... And so our story ends with Wells revisiting Guy's American Kitchen & Bar and having an amazing, psychedelic, mind-fuck of a meal that transports him – body and soul – to a tender/repressed memory of his pastoral childhood that makes him immediately realize the faux pretensions of his life as a critic and motivates him to give it all up for the petit-bourgeois trappings as co-owner with Fieri of a neighbourhood bistro... Everything I know about food, restaurants, criticism and LIFE comes from repeated viewings of Ratatouille.

On I'm Nobody: Eve Sedgwick After Death
She will be forever missed. I remember the quiet shock of learning that she was straight & married in her NYT obit. It was like finding out that Norman Jewison isn't Jewish.
