I love this, and I love H and K, their friendship-sistership. The writing is so vivid and beautifully paced that it sends electrical currents through me. “Do you exist, or did I invent you?” is a brilliant and poetic question for the ages. Brava to you both!

An amazing essay-and such a friendship. I went to Barnard and could picture you both in the dorms, collaging walls and getting ready for formals. You brought H to the page for us.
