This was the perfect title for the reading because it was as if the author-annie ernaux-, was possessed by a being with vengeful tactics she created. She played out all aspects of this womans lifestyle without ever meeting her.
She envisioned a would-be relationship that W would or may have with this other woman. She had no solid facts, other then the profession.
Simple conversations that annie had with W turned into a session of america's most wanted. If he mentioned to her, "tippy just crossed my mind" she thought to herself, hmmmm when was the last time you even thought about me, or so me just crossing your mind confirms I'm no longer your primary go to person for companionship. Annie began to analyze everything about W's life without realizing she was living her life through his possible actions, without actually living Annie's life without W. She even admitted to falling prey to the attacks of an outside world reminding her of their common past.
The structure of having one paragraph per page kept me excited to know what else she would do, in order to relieve herself of the misery.
