“There’s not a lot of room for un-ironic emotion in contemporary culture. I think that irony is an important tool in dealing with the world as we find it.

But along the way maybe we’ve lost some of what I think of as the power of straightforward emotion and earnestness and seriousness.”

    Just started reading Everything is Tuberculosis and read these two sentences:
    "We know how to live in a world without Tuberculosis. But we choose not to live in this world."

    This line causes so much anger and pain inside me.
