Single Ladies in New York City, Touch Your Hand to the Screen

“Some years ago, having lived in New York City since graduating from college, I was visiting my parents for Thanksgiving. An older male neighbor who had been invited to dinner took one look at me across the table and said to my mother, ‘She’s single? She’s pretty. What’s wrong with her?’” — In the cover story of this week’s Village Voice, Jen Doll examines what’s wrong with herself — she’s single — and then marries her parents’ neighbor. Twist ending! Just kidding, she kills her parents’ neighbor and assumes his identity. Jen Doll now lives as an elderly man next door to her parents.
