“I’m Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself” is out on June 11 from Penguin Life.
By the summer of 2021, Glynnis MacNicol had been isolating by herself, in a small New York apartment, for 14 months. Mice scurried down the hallways of her building; when people fled, inevitably their cats had gone with them. The then 47-year-old writer was starved for contact. So it felt less like a whim and more like a necessity when she booked a flight to Paris, and secured a five-week apartment rental just as European countries began tentatively reopening their borders.
But, then again, the idea that MacNicol does not follow societal scripts – and dares to be happy about it – has long made a particular kind of woman bristle. “I’ve come to suspect I’m some sort of proof,” she writes in I’m Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself. “Proof, perhaps, that a New York Times wedding announcement does not shore up matters of life the way one was convinced it might? Though this feels too simplistic.
