Musehouse Tomorrow Night, and an answer for those who have questioned Emmy's voice in YAMO

If I find green in my closet, I will wear green. And for those of you who are wondering, I will be reading a section from the book that I've never read aloud from before.  I'm going to be addressing—overtly—those who wonder why I chose to do something different with language after Emmy's breakdown.

(The answer:  Language was broken for her.  I was mapping, in those sections, the reconstitution of ideas and words.  I could not write the ordinary and the obvious because, well, mental breakdowns are neither ordinary nor obvious.)

(And besides, well:  gosh.  I think we have to take risks.)
