For anyone wondering what ADD can be like, just imagine that your brain is firing like that for hours on end. Until you find a subject for your hyper focus. Then your brain is still firing wildly, but it's all just about that one super interesting thing, which you BTW will have forgotten all about after a random length of time, between 3hrs and 3weeks usually. Although I have had about 5 tabs open on the back burner for months now.

What a weird way to write an allegory about Marco Polo fucking over China on spice prices.

who's the author? I actually like this writing style...

Edit: Thank you, it's Bobbie Ann Mason. She was a finalist for the Pulitzer prize. I've downloaded some of her books and can't wait to read them :)

Huh I was expecting her to imagine marco polo bringing spices but her having nowhere to keep them
