![]() ![]() She didn’t want to be sick or anything - not like that girl, Fatima, she knew in high school - but she did want more attention. In “Suicide, Watch,” she couldn’t decide: posting suicidal hints didn’t get enough LIKEs on social media, so maybe it was time to step up her game. Jilly, on the other hand, couldn’t think of anything but herself. In “Fatima, the Biloquist: A Transformation Story,” you’ll think you know why. In “The Body’s Defenses Against Itself,” there’s proof that the girls’ friendship wouldn’t have happen as their mothers had hoped. In “Belles Lettres,” the two women square off in writing, though money talks loud. There was one other Black girl at the academy, and Lucinda thought friendship might happen naturally, but that girl was a bully whose mother denied her awful misbehavior. Lucinda Johnston hoped her daughter, Fatima, might make friends easier at the private school Lucinda paid for.
