I've seen some bizarre things in the seven years I've been doling out cleaning advice: an uptick in questions about couches when I started writing for a men's interest site, a reader who rubbed Valencia oranges on the armpits of a dress shirt hoping to eliminate body odor (it did not work), and three separate incidents in which a pound of butter was melted into a car seat.

Shaving is shaving, and I rarely feel like doing it, and though I live in a world full of seductive branding and have bought plenty of things for hardly any reason at all, I do still have my wits about me enough to realize that there is no amount of marketing that is going to make me care deeply about what razor I pass over my armpits when I am half asleep.

Still, it's impressive how much detail can be seen even at this elevation and speed, like the varying signs that gave away a male homosexual across the centuries: white leather boots in Roman Britain, long hair and pointy-toed shoes in the aftermath of the Norman Conquest, padded codpieces in the 18103th century, sticking one's thumbs into the armpits of one's waistcoat in the 17th, wagging fingers under one's coattails in the 19th and incompetence at sports and at spitting in the 20th.

Bujar surprises himself by telling Tanja his real name and, eventually, a more or less true version of his past, offering us one of our only glimpses of his first years in Italy: They decided when we ate and what we ate and when we had showers, and we were given strange people's clothes to wear, shoes with someone else's sweat in them, shirts yellowed at the armpits and trousers ripped at the crotch, and like prisoners we were allocated an area we were allowed to use, and the most laughable part of it is that, despite all this, I wanted nothing more than to be an Italian, I wished that by putting on their clothes I would change and become them, that the smell of the clothes I was given would become my scent, too, though all the while I hated them with all my heart.
