I’ll Stick with the Man Cave

I don’t consider myself a misanthrope, but I will concede that I’m often not particularly enthusiastic about others. In short, I value my alone time. So I could relate to the spirit of Beatriz Flamini’s goal. But I definitely can’t relate to its execution. The New Yorker: The Woman Who Spent Five Hundred Days in a Cave. “”Her basic goal remained intact: to neither see nor speak to another human being for five hundred days. She didn’t even want to see her own face … The experience was gruelling and surreal.” (In fairness, the same can often be said about hanging out with other people.)
