Anyone else considering throwing out all of their clothes? Zoom illustrates what real life is.ĭeny it. There are a few glamorous moments in life. It’s about putting in the hard work to get what you want. To be successful, it isn’t about how you look (unless you want to be a runway model and then blessed genetics helps) or where you live. They look like my friends and family (more or less).

To his young son, he’s just Dad, the person who plays with him, feeds him, and disciplines him, and loves him.īecause of the pandemic, I’ve seen movie stars sitting at home wearing little to no makeup, in sweatshirts with lousy lighting. I was privy to an up and coming literary figure, and guess what…? They are just like you and me (except the fame and possibly fortune part). Orange wore a baseball hat, T-shirt, and shorts, having an everyday parenting moment. It would have been an enjoyable evening for which I likely paid between $25 and $50. He would have entered a theater or auditorium, stood in front of a microphone, read, answered questions, and left. This opportunity would never have happened in the Beforetimes. Thanks to COVID-19, I glimpsed into Tommy Orange’s Oakland home and witnessed an ordinary moment of his life AND listened to some breathtaking writing. He gave a lecture on behavior that I’m sure I received as a child too.Įveryday is ordinary, until it isn’t.
He forgot to mute his microphone as he got up to speak sternly with his child. Reading from his new work-in-progress, via the Zoom, when his young son started making noise. Yes, Tommy Fucking Orange, whose debut novel There, There won the National Book Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. I just listened to Tommy Orange chastise his son Felix for interrupting him. And I’m guessing you’re fatigued from reading about it. I’m weary from finding ways to convert coronavirus’s consequences into lessons learned that affect my writing. I thought I finished writing about the pandemic.
