That passage about how "the willow tree is you" from The Grapes of Wrath
*She likes Helvetica, crunchy Honeycrisps, Jason Bourne movies, 90’s rock and alt, unpretentious fountain pens, Georgia O'Keeffe, Joan Didion, weddings, the NYT Crossword, and emollient lip balms. She drinks mostly hot water, writes long letters to her friends, does her best work very late at night, and is almost always cold. She strongly dislikes coffee, slow drivers, sycophants, and spiders.
