There are astute observations like ‘When eros goes away it’s as if I’m colorblind. The world ringtones is gray.’, but for every one of them there is a grotesquesly absurd scene like the boyfriend’s obsession with cortisone cream, ringtones and Kaysen’s later silly meanderings on whether or not he raped her in his attempt, although we know it failed. as in Girl, Interrupted Kaysen is definitely an unreliable narrator, as well as terminally emotionally immature, and a reader might sense that ringtones at some level the ridiculous choices Kaysen makes are all done in service to her life as art approach. I’ve known artists who intentionally encourage ‘excitement’ in their lives by making one dumb choice after another. Then there is her stand in a chapter called Why I Am Opposed to Antidepressants that only makes sense if you have read her earlier memoir.
