Prettiness should be easy not to look at.
My ability to look away from a pretty picture
makes me feel good about my autonomy,
whereas beauty makes me feel implicated and contingent.
"The subject of prettiness may be an interesting thing to most readers, and I think the words used here to describe it do just as good a job as any formal essay you’re likely to find, but the structure of this work is what I find most striking."
