Alicia, I loved this, and the way you wove the two topics together. Must read again! It seems that you could write a story based in part on your experience at Nordstrom; so many evocative elements there, not least in the emotional realm of mind-body consonance and dissonance. And, I must read more Grace Paley, wow! Thanks so much!!

Thank you so much for reading, David! That means a lot -- and, yes, now you're giving me ideas! Lots to work with here in a fictional setting. Do absolutely read Paley. To be honest, I've barely made it past the first three stories in "Collected Stories"; I'm so blown away by the language that I keep going back and re-reading them, like you would play a favorite song on repeat. She's one of a kind.
