What they have in common: Um, ticklish delight? At least when you first meet them, they're both so pretty. So elegant. How else would you describe Moshiri's cursive? And on the first pages of Harvey, she's so optimistic about finding the right end to her stories. Isn't it always easier to like someone who's so keen on making a good first impression? I like ham flowers, too, Matthea Harvey. And centaurs. And dotted lines.
Why does everything have to bite back? Maybe you should be asking, "Why wouldn't it?" Because I don't care what suburban, Fox News "capitalist" version of the future you're subscribing to, the system is always against you. That might be one of the things that makes life so much fun. All that is regular and ordered is probably operating under a dubious design. Clean and fresh Google collecting all my information. Moshiri's pointilism with found knives. Or Harvey's abecedarian poems about the post-Apocalypse.
