ABSTRACT

My luck followed me back to my dorm, where I fell into a deep friendship with George’s oldest daughter Marina, a young woman whose worldview and sardonic wit were unlike anything I had encountered in suburban New Jersey. I found myself magnetically drawn to Marina, George, and the entire cast of Albee characters, whose small farm overflowed with animals, exotic foods, and books, many books. By the time we were ready to graduate, Marina and I had moved onto the farm where, in exchange for room and board, I tended a flock of chickens.
