After Natalie Beach published an essay about ghostwriting for Caroline Calloway, the two women became, as Beach later put it, “the main characters of the internet.” Now each has written a memoir touching on the experience.
.” Both women developed a crush on the professor, and their first “collaboration” involved fantasizing aloud about him together: Calloway described what she imagined might happen during office hours, and Beach elaborated, shaping these details into an erotic story. “She liked to use my body in proxy for her own,” Calloway writes. “It pleased Natalie, I think, the pleasure she gave me, indulging both of our sexual fantasies at once.”.
Calloway has long conflated being a memoirist with having a vaguely artsy aesthetic. And yet her adoption of the latter somehow succeeded in facilitating the former, in the same way that her bot followers eventually led to real fame. She successfully invented, and then lived, a life worth writing about.
Beach’s book, on the other hand, is almost irritatingly rooted in fact. Most of the essays in “Adult Drama” conform to the same structure, balancing personal anecdotes about being a millennial with forced historical context. A piece that opens with the author’s struggles in an Abercrombie fitting room aspires to be a short history of low-rise jeans. There are various mentions of how much Beach loves soccer.
It’s hard to read Beach’s book without seeing Calloway everywhere. In one essay, she describes being inspired by the “downtown romance” of Patti Smith’s memoir to take a hammer to her living-room wall and expose the brick—a slightly more civilized version of what Calloway did to her floors. In another essay, she completes a challenge that involves orgasming twenty-four times, which feels like an unintended jab at Calloway, whose memoir opens with an admission that she is unable to orgasm at all.
