/It is OK to have sexual fantasies with writers of the past. 
/mes-me-ri-zed with her Mind.

(On nights & prostitution, DETACHED AND PRECISE) : “As the G.I.'s come out of the nightclubs, they find dozens of cyclo-pousses waiting for them.  The wide range of their offers -qualified always as super-number-one- corresponds to the demand. Number one or number ten! There is never any in between. That means that either the girl is beautiful or she's ugly. She is good or she is disgusting (...) In Saigon, bars and girls for the white G.I. are not the same as those for his dark-skinned brother. Nor are the prices the same either: the vietnamese prostitute is a racist.”
― Michèle Ray, The Two Shores of Hell.
