counties lines for a gallery curator who has been bullied into teaching drawing fundamentals on the weekends. exes of either gender, but especially the girl he broke up around 2009 via email, the night before he hopped on a plane to paris for a year, someone who has punched him at an art opening but charles played it off as ‘performance art’, a wildly inappropriate fling that he ended because that was also ‘performance art’. a best friend, a thick-skinned assistant, fellow coworkers, current flings, the neighbor who isn’t impressed by his 5 am yoga music, and anything out of the box.
