Today I’m able to describe this scene—I mean, relate how I discovered the existence of William’s double. But for the first few days it was impossible for me to say anything about it at all, because there were certain words I could not utter.

It was impossible for me to imagine that my husband—the man I’d lived with for over twenty years—could use terms like “homo,” “slut,” “raghead,” “asshole,” “piece of shit,” “camel jockey” and plenty more in comments whose racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic and misogynist connotations would be hard to deny. But this murky, malignant but skillful prose was his. It took me some time to acknowledge that it was indeed William who had been writing this blog for nearly three years, and using this language to comment on the political and media news as well as the many non-stories that set the internet ablaze every day. It took me some time to be able to describe what these sentences were like without euphemism—I mean, for these words to come out of my mouth in front of Dr. Felsenberg, even if only to give him some illustrative examples.

I refused to acknowledge that William was capable of conceiving and posting such horrors. And at the same time, it was as though I had always known.
