Alphabetarion # Windows | Mieko Kawakami, 2019

Helen Saunders, Atlantic City, 1915

“If you want to know how poor somebody was growing up, ask them how many windows they had. Don’t ask what was in their fridge or in their closet. The number of windows says it all. It says everything. If they had none, or maybe one or two, that’s all you need to know.”
