"The Rachel Mysteries: A Trilogy" is a personal essay from
1999 by David Shields about his first love. He reads her journal and they have intense, enraptured sex.
“In her journal, she wrote that she had never been kissed like this in
her life and that she inevitably had trouble going to sleep after seeing me. She
actually said she was afraid she'd go blind when I entered her. Where did she
learn these lines, anyway?”
Do you snoop? Are you glad you did?
