Susan Orlean Brightened The World By Getting Drunk, Missing Her Cat, And Tweeting

Despair about the state of the world, a little rosé, and voilà: “Orlean sent 27 entertaining, if typo-infused, tweets (read: “I do r e we. Know who is I my house”) that careen from the state of the world to the location of her cat, Leo, interspersed with frequent nods to her progressing drunkenness and her husband’s mounting concern for her well being. Taken together, the tweets feel oddly in tune with the tenor of the times — surreal, raw, a little unhinged.” – Los Angeles Times
