2019/122: All Among the Barley -- Melissa Harrison

I thought about the photograph of me in Connie's magazine ... my own image pressed into the service of something I hadn't consented to and didn't understand. That this could happen was further proof that I was not a real person, I realised; not real in the way that other people were real: Frank and John and Connie, for example. None of this would ever have happened to them. Perhaps I had made myself up entirely, and kept doing so every day. [loc. 3659]
