Besides, there was more to consider than just dirty floors and greasy kitchens. Though they were still in the prime of life, it wasn’t ...

They reveal our grotesque selfishness and our intense need for love and acceptance, and the psychic pain that either shuts us off or allows us to discover our deepest reaches of empathy.
