What I Love About My Friends Is That 70 years Ago We All Would Have Been Lobotomized

Through deadpan humour and introspective musings, the protagonist reflects on the works of art that resonate with her feelings of dissociation and offers a glimpse into the complex interior world of a woman grappling with the weighty issues of identity, feminism, and art in the 21st century. The story also highlights the importance of friendship and the grounding effect that a good friend can have, serving as the stabilizing force in the midst of the protagonist's existential musings.
