"What is your perfume? a student once asked her. Room freshener, she said.
This might have been one of the funniest stories I've been forced to read. I think one of the reasons I found this story so funny was the type of humor displayed. In today's society, most stand-up comedy and box-office comedies are crude dry. The humor is no longer knock-knock jokes but it is rather roasts of celebrities or mocking social customs. Zoe displays this type of humor. Although she doesn't intend to, her humor offends the people she insults but is hilarious to the reader. But, the source of her harsh sarcasm seems to be the result of her own state. In the beginning of the story, she alludes to her losing her mind. Is she insane?
