Taking a time out from what happened to me in Cologne and in Leipzig Kushner writes I want to let you in on a secret: I personally know the author of this story you re reading. Because she fancies herself an art world type a hanger - on. Who would do that voluntarily? I mean it's not like someone held a gun to my head and said Be an artist.
