Summer, 1986
Vignettes of Meriam
If you’re looking for the logic in these pages, you won’t find it in the math.
“I spent the summer of 1986 supposedly deconstructing a pension plan, but mostly I was just deconstructing myself to make room for a girl who was smarter, sharper, and far more interesting than any database I could ever write.”
About the Book
If you’re looking for the logic in these pages, you won’t find it in the math. I spent the summer of 1986 supposedly deconstructing a pension plan, but mostly I was just deconstructing myself to make room for a girl who was smarter, sharper, and far more interesting than any database I could ever write. This is less a memoir and more a series of glimpses into the specific, quiet moments where the life I thought I was planning simply vanished, replaced by a Persian princess and the persistent, life-altering smell of sumac.
