![]() ![]() – SHE HAS LEFT NO SPACE BETWEEN HERSELF AND THE INDIGENOUS GUATEMALANS IN HER HEART EVERYONE ASSEMBLE SO WE CAN THROW HER A FUCKING PARADE. Look at all these nonwhites I interact with, I have transcended race. I get the impression she just likes to be seen with brown people. She loves them because of their “spirit”, or some other vague reason. She prefers to be with the native Guatemalans rather than the American expats or the Spanish. ![]() I DIDN’T KNOW THAT NO ONE BEAT THEIR WIVES IN AMERICA. ![]() She can’t inflict her “culture’s morals” onto others. Okay everyone, buckle up because Rita just heard her host beating his wife. She’s going to live with locals in a rural Zapotec village. I vacillate between seriously and not-so-seriously planning my own travels, and all I need from this book are stories from places I’ve never been to inject into my own daydreams. This is a little too Eat, Pray, Love for my taste, but I’m still cautiously on board. Now she gets to decide what kind of life she wants to lead. She’d always wanted to live in other places, but her husband didn’t. Unhappy in her life, unsure of how she got to where she was, and feeling drained from decades of the compromises that make up a marriage, she decides to go to Mexico for a few months. When Rita Golden Gelman was 48, she found herself on the verge of divorce. This woman says she’s lived in a lot of places I want to go to. Even when they’re not great, I can usually get something out of it. I saw the title on my new audiobook app and downloaded it. ![]()
