Maxine's club-drug mindlessness, the Insensitive Daughter (Zinn History)

[Fiona Shnapple]

I can take only too much Zinn, but he's useful here as we press the
Reverse and scan through the years Maxine, living at home and working
on her college degree, was oblivious to what distracted her parents.
In the clubs was coke. In the protests was pepper spay and police
brutality. Maybe her parents protected her as March suggests. Maybe
she was too busy studying up on Material Girl Feminism, maybe she was
lost in the Snow. But Maxine thinks she was kept in the dark because
of some flaw in character that her parents recognized early on, and
she still thinks they think its there still. Is it? Is she trying to
rub out this flaw now? Is that why she's so into Ice & Co.? Or is it
the flaw that draws her into the depths of departure.
