About this site

"Anyone who hopes for bananas in wartime runs the risk of learning the following: that there are no bananas to be had; that there were never any bananas to begin with; that all bananas had ever been was a collective fantasy brought on by the deprivations of war; that your mother will fail to find any bananas; that you will have to compete with your sisters for the bananas; that your father will exchange the banana for the experience of watching him eat the banana, with or without cream and sugar; that your father will model substitutionary atonement and bear himself your hunger in his body, Christus Victor, paternal satisfaction, and eat the bananas in front of you. For such reasons and more a child might not ask for bread at all but instead say, I’m not hungry, I ate before I got here." -Daniel M. Lavery, Something That May Shock and Discredit You
