In 2000, I spent some time at a lodge floating on a balsa raft on one of the tributaries of the Amazon River.

It haunted me, the thought that this air conditioner might have killed someone. I fixated on it, as if it really happened, playing the scene out in my head. One day I began a story with the voice of The-Girl-Whose-Father-Dropped-an-Air-Conditioner-on-an-Old-Lady, … More >>
