MEET ME IN THE DARK
By Michael Eichler

Most of us lead quiet lives. We experience losses, not tragedies. We have sufficient sense (or cowardice) never to end up on the front lines. Our politics are our own and our participation does not add up to as much as a footnote, even when Howard Zinn is the author. That’s not to say we don’t matter. Part of what I admire about Meet Me in the Dark is its conviction that characters whose lives are led on this smaller scale do matter; that Eleanor does not have to learn anything particularly original or have anything truly horrible happen to be worthy of our attention. There are many moments in Meet Me in the Dark where I recognize a moment from my own life or the lives of my friends--the fear of not being who you or your family wanted you to be, the excitement of realizing your friend likes you in that way, the confusion of realizing someone you love may not be good for you.
