In one of the essays in Don't Get Too Comfortable, David Rakoff shares his experience covering some big fashion week in Paris. At first, he had the time of his life: learning about fashion, rubbing elbows with glamorous people, overjoyed by the fun and over-the-top-ness of it all. He keeps waiting for the new to rub off, but it doesn't. Then, all of a sudden, in the middle of the biggest runway show of the week, he snaps. The room starts to spin, he's sweating, he can't breathe. David Rakoff has reached his breaking point and just can't take it anymore. Reading Don't Get Too Comfortable was a little bit like that.
