What Libby loves

Libby loves Murray and Alex and Minna and the rest of her family. Libby loves words and popular culture but not as much as Murray and Alex love popular culture. Libby loves to think about art and what it means. Libby loves to make things and make things up. Then she believes her own fictions.

Libby loves tools. The affair started at Sears in 1973, when Murray bought her a drill for her birthday so she could hang the shelves and curtains in their new home. Now that she has a computer and a new kitchen she loves them too.

Libby loves books and the newspaper and magazines. Libby brakes for historical markers. Murray doesn't (even though he's the published historian in the family). It's the biggest problem in their marriage.
