My favorite thing about I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in
the House is the opening line:
“I have heard myself say that a house with a death in it can
never again be bought or sold by the living. It can only be borrowed from the
ghosts that have stayed behind.”
Why is she attributing a quote to herself? Does this mean
this is something she’s said before? When the fuck did she say that? At a
dinner party?
