This episode with Rupert in Norway comes in two parts. In this second half, I get right into the reading of Chapter 17, Rest Area, from my nonfiction manuscript, F*ck Bubble. 


This chapter of F*ck Bubble documents the vapor trail my relationship with Mack became shortly after our tense and revealing last meeting in San Francisco in May of 2017. No longer a physical presence in my life, Mack continues to linger via text for days: the probing and wanting specter of a man I'd met in an East Village gay bar some eighteen years prior, slowly disappearing into the warm and protective San Joaquin Valley sky. 

Inspired by the reading, our shared experiences, and his own inimitable form of observation and innate knowing, Rupert "drops the science," offering keen insight and raw wisdom. A fantastic conversation that I'm excited to share.
