Semiotext(e)
English
“A woman I am currently having an affair with said you know you look like a Kennedy. I felt the blood rising to my cheeks. People have laughed at my Boston accent confusing ‘large’ for ‘lodge’, ‘party’ for ‘potty’. But when this unsuspecting woman invoked for the first time my family name, I knew the jig was up. Yes, I am, I am a Kennedy.”
