Cat Person (story) (2017)Meanwhile, as the son, husband, father and friend of women, I spent the whole story screaming, “Just say, no” at the page. Essentially, a college co-ed flirts with a patron at the theater where she works and strikes up a text-based relationship. He is older, heavy-set, bearded, etc. But she is intrigued by the lumberjack vibe and flattered by his interest. Eventually, they go on a date and back to his house and into bed, even though she barely knows anything about him, doesn’t seem to particularly like what she does know and ultimately decides that he is not just unattractive but physically repulsive. The sex between them is terrible. He proves to be as odd as one might have feared, while she believes that given his homeliness and her obvious nubile beauty that she is sort of giving him a gift. The whole scenario is achingly dysfunctional. But, of course, the lesson here is not that treating sex as a casual endeavor leads to regret. Instead, after she ghosts him, one of her friends grabs her phone and texts him back to leave her alone, leading to a series of ever more desperate messages from him, ending with an epithet. The reactions to the story inevitably became political, with some seizing on his final message to turn him into a monster and retroactively making the sex encounter somehow non-consensual. Meanwhile, others–mostly men–sought to portray her as manipulative and him as a victim. Riding the divide were those who complained that the story fat shames him. I am sufficiently puritanical that it seems obvious to me that the single takeaway should be that the modern promiscuity of both sexes is a recipe for misery. We’ve been reviewing stories for the past year or so to make the case that “true love” is a cruel hoax and that one can find a satisfying love with many others, not just some sort of predestined avatar. The flip side of this is that one needn’t settle for some grubby semi-anonymous hook-up. Put in some effort and you can find someone to love. At that point, even the most awkward encounter in bed at least has some deeper meaning to redeem it.

I’ve spent the years since it published wondering: How did she know? (Alexis Nowicki, July 08, 2021, Slate) Some of the most pivotal scenes—the sexual encounter and the hostile text messages—were unfamiliar to me. But the similarities to my own life were eerie: The protagonist was a girl from my small hometown who lived in the dorms at my college and worked at the art house theater where I’d worked and dated a man in his 30s, as I had. I recognized the man in the story, too. His appearance (tall, slightly overweight, with a tattoo on his shoulder). His attire (rabbit fur hat, vintage coat). His home (fairy lights over the porch, a large board game collection, framed posters). It was a vivid description of Charles. But that felt impossible. Could it be a wild coincidence? Or did Roupenian, a person I’d never met, somehow know about me? [...] fter I read the story, I sent Charles the link. At that point, we weren’t in regular communication, but we still texted occasionally. “It seems like we’ve been stalked,” I joked. He texted me as he was reading: “this is weird!” “it is very disparaging to the guy, am I a slimeball” I’d assured him that with me, he wasn’t. Eventually, he changed the subject. Later, I Googled Roupenian and discovered that she was getting her MFA in the University of Michigan’s English department; I was friendly with some grad students in her program and remember thinking that maybe one of them had found my relationship strange and mentioned it to her. Looking back, it’s hard to say why I never asked Charles whether he knew her. Maybe I didn’t really want to know. At that point, I was trying to avoid probing personal topics with him in order to distance myself. I was hoping not to encourage him to rely on me. Three years later, I found out Charles had died via an Instagram DM from his mom that I opened at midnight on a Friday. It was November 2020—five years since we broke up, and five months since we last texted, when he’d been furloughed from his job due to COVID and I’d posted on Instagram that I was collecting money for Black Lives Matter–related orgs. “Something aggressive [fist emoji] not milquetoast neoliberal,” he labeled his Venmo to me. I texted him the receipt. He passed away suddenly, his mom said. I spent that night lying awake and the next day in a trance. The following evening, I texted David—who had remained one of Charles’ closest friends—to ask if he’d heard from Charles’ family. When he said no, I called to break the news. (David is a pseudonym, too, at his request.) About an hour into a conversation full of attempts to articulate just how special Charles was, he brought up “Cat Person.” “He was always so upset that she brought you into it,” he said. I paused, taking in what this might mean. I’d spent the past three years trying to convince myself that it was just some crazy coincidence. -ESSAY: The uproar over the New Yorker short story “Cat Person,” explained: How a short story about a bad date sparked a conversation about gender, sex, and privilege.
