Tinderland-50 Shades of Grey, in hair


Chapter 37: The Diary of a Spiral (or: The Subtle Art of Moral Disc Herniation)
The audience always applauds when they see a flexible woman squeezed into a box that's too small. They call it "virtuosity." I call it "the history of relationships with married men." At 68, having already seen everything, from the beaches of Bahia to the bars of Tel Aviv, I would expect my mind to be as fortified as a nuclear bunker. But no. Inside, a neuropsychological battle of attrition is taking place between two characters who loathe each other: The Big Bang: The Spatia


Chapter 38: The Cave, the Cocoon, Mars and Venus
I want to share something really intimate with you. About me. About me and him. About It all started, like many things, with a little 'ping' on the screen.

Suddenly I didn't know if I should enter a protected space or simply delete my profile from the universe. I threw away all dating apps a long time ago. I have no patience for plastic "matches."

Chapter 41: The Pied Piper of Venice on Locksmith Street
At our age, Facebook “message requests” are usually a mix between eighty-year-old American generals stationed in Yemen looking for true love (and a credit card), and childhood friends from the group you haven’t seen since the Six-Day War who suddenly remembered you existed because they sell ketogenic supplements.
