The Manticore: The head of a man, the body of a lion, a scorpion’s tail.
EXCERPT: We develop bizarre defenses against pain. Monsters are killers with unexpected and uncontrolled forms of attack and defense that are ultimately dishonest, no matter how much you tell the truth: you can never make a true marriage of the soul that way with another person, and all your use of sex and “intimate” love-at-first-sight relationships, and all the late night talks that develop the delusion of intimacy, are laughable, pitiable attempts to carry water in a sieve across a dry desert.
You can no more be joined to a person that way than a horse could join with a goat.
Seeing this clearly in myself and in another person whom I loved brings me here.
