Everybody has a โgripping strangerโ in their lives, Andy, a stranger who unwittingly possesses a bizarre hold over you. Maybe itโs the kid in cut-offs who mows your lawn or the woman wearing White Shoulders who stamps your book at the libraryโa stranger who, if you were to come home and find a message from them on your answering machine saying โDrop everything. I love you. Come away with me now to Florida,โ youโd follow them.
Douglas CouplandA man in a bookstore buys a book on loneliness and every woman in the store hits on him. A woman buys a book on loneliness and the store clears out.
