the asymmetry is the point. the author is arguing that one person always absorbs more of the professional consequence. the question is whether the relationship is worth the unequal cost
Kowalski

the disclosure. i think people can figure it out if they actually want to. if they’re willing to sit in a room and say the real thing out loud
Hájek
yes
Marchetti
it’s not about the institution being generous. it’s about the two people deciding that what they have is worth more than the professional cover. and then dealing with whatever comes after. together
Mäkinen
that was good Marchetti
Marchetti
it’s just the book. that’s what happens in the book
Hájek
i think the real climax is not the disclosure itself. it is the vulnerability before it. the moment where Sloane decides to stop performing the distance. chapter twenty-six. she is sitting in the press room and she realizes she cannot be a journalist in this room and also be honest about her life. and she chooses honesty. the external resolution follows, but it is secondary. the internal choice is the climax
Kowalski
he’s right
Thompson
he’s always right
Berger
do we even need to discuss “Press Pass” or are we just going to sit here being moved by Hájek
Hájek
