Maria Bello's Modern Love Column About Bisexuality Is Effing Fantastic
LatestThe New York Times’ Modern Love column is like a box of chocolates, if half of the chocolates were replaced by cringeworthy middle school journals crumpled up and dipped in hardened, bitter regret. I’m happy to report, however, that this week’s Modern Love was actually pretty sweet.
Actress Maria Bello’s account of telling her son that she was romantically involved with her close friend, a woman the boy had come to know as a sort of godmother, is tender, thoughtful, and self-aware without being self-indulgent. But not only is the subject matter touching, the writing is beautiful. Check out this, where Bello meditates on her romantic history, captured in a journal.
