The Semplica-Girl Diaries
Fiction, from 2012: “Note to future generations: Happiness possible. And happy so much better than opposite, i.e., sad.”
"This morning I smelled the top of Philip's head. That sweet baby scent is gone." George Saunders's diary-keeper resolves to write twenty minutes nightly, no matter how tired—then records a dead squirrel/mouse crawling with maggots, a car bumper held on with twine, and the thirty-acre estate of neighbors with three Ferraris.
