This is Not a Love Song

This short story is about a photographer reminiscing on her best friend's life. She is going through pictures that she took of her diseased friend. Each section of the story is another moment in Kat's life through the pictures. I can imagine the narrator going through the pictures, picking one up, remembering the story behind it, and then moving on to the next picture and story. The narrator uses each memory to show us what Kat was like. In the section: Interior. Fireside Bowl. Fullerton Avenue. The narrator describes the way her friend performed. How she found a safe place in the ceiling ....

  1. It's funny how this story is written. It is like things are in clues; I did not even notice the photographer was a female. You can tell however that the photographer was there with Kat since high school and knows about her quite well. I agree with you, I think the narrator combined both her passion of photography and her friends passion of music to create wonderful memories.
