A Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

“Tender. Harrowing. Thorough…A Very Hungry Caterpillar is dazzling in the way that all great stories are. Like One Hundred Years of Solitude, there are butterflies. Like The Sun Also Rises, there are cured meats. This is The Stranger for our times, just with much less murder and smoking and existentialist ennui.”

I watched a good-looking girl walk past the table and watched her go up the street and lost sight of her, and watched another, and then saw the first one coming back, with a Strawberry Matcha Strato Frappuccino.
