“I wish it would not talk, it is always talking” – Adam

What did go through Adam and Eve’s mind as they were getting acquainted with each other? This? Maybe something like this. Were they comfortable around each other? Did they even like each other? Eve seems to know a whole lot about…everything. Eve is smarter than Adam? It sure looks it. Man I have so many questions about this conversation. I think it’s fantastic.

“I tried to hide my disappointment, but I suppose I did not succeed” – Eve

Eve is naming things! Caring for them! Why isn’t Adam paying any attention to her!? He sure is annoyed by her. What a great exploration of how a man and a woman react/talk/think to/about each other. Go back to the “beginning” of man, and find out what they said to each other. I imagine Mark Twain writing this with glee, and not stopping at all until he finishes it. It’s great fun to read, but I don’t think I’ve read anything where it is so apparent that the author had a great time actually writing it. And Adam and Eve live happily ever after, with all the evil and bad and shit released into the world. That stupid apple.

Does Adam ever say he loves her? I don’t think it matters.

“I find I do not know, and do not really much care to know” –

Man, hand grenades, fingers blown off, all done in good humor? If only journalism was this exciting, if only reading about journalism was this exciting in real life. The whole story read in such a deadpan straight-faced way, it only adds to the funniness of it all. I thought both readings were fantastic.
