Compared to combat, stealing money felt like “child’s play.” “Hundreds and hundreds of times I’d gone through people’s houses with guns, zip-tying people, screaming at people, sometimes shooting, and it’s like, what’s this compared to that?” He robbed nearly a dozen banks over the next four months, stealing close to $40,000.
Mr. Walker never planned to write about his experience, he said. Once in a low security prison, he found ways to occupy himself: he read 19th-century Russian literature, studied Spanish, German and Latin, and tutored other inmates who were getting their G.E.D.s. Two and a half years into his sentence, he got a letter from Matthew Johnson, co-owner of Tyrant Books. Mr. Johnson had read an article in BuzzFeed about Mr. Walker’s crimes and his military service, and began sending him books to read. After they had corresponded for a few months, Mr. Johnson urged him to write a book.

no I think you should pivot to Ulysses and join the boystbh i doubt their power, but am a big fan of stories that paint really vivid pictures of their characters' psychologies.

i think a lot of these people were serious, overly studious nerds in school, so once they get to hip brooklyn--in their minds, on the merits of how interesting they've become thanks to all their highbrow reading and academic cleverness--they feel like it's their turn to live it up and be rockstars. the magicians (the book) captures this dynamic of insufferable self conscious / self congratulatory hedonism pretty well iirc.This just in: sex, drugs & rock n roll rendered boring by privileged brooklyn hipsters

goodIt's one of the major byproducts of internet 2.0. Before the net enabled it most of us were born into a narrow band of possibilities based on stuff like wealth, location, looks, peer groups and chutzpah. These days you pick a style or a mish mash of and can hack your way into coolness with a little bit of nous. It's a weird displacement via visual status cues and well curated vocab.
