...again boarded the train, this time an express, sitting at the end of one of the long benches that stretched from door-to-door. Shortly thereafter, four men slipped between cars and entered ours at the far end, where they remained huddled prior to entering the next station. As we pulled to a stop, one, wearing a baseball cap with interlocking red and black sections, walked the full length of the car and sat down at the opposite end, soon joined by the only one of the four not wearing a similar hat.

Her 1999 cultural history On Bullfighting opens with Kennedy preparing to throw herself from her fourth-story apartment, having lost the will to write. For someone who has never wanted to be anything but a writer - a brief career in door-to-door brush sales came to naught - that's a terrible predicament.
