Intermezzo, Sally Rooney — Chapter 4

In this episode, we consider Ivan’s and Margaret’s inverse relationships to isolation: Ivan, once solitary, finds companionship and a sense of completion with Margaret; Margaret, formerly held tightly by close friends and her small town community, finds herself unable to confide in anyone about her affair with Ivan. Can you imagine hooking up with a new random guy and not telling anyone?? Plus, we’re processing Kathryn’s breakup, Waymos, the value of millennial labor, and driving technique as a representation of one’s approach to life.
