Arranged marriages generate real feelings. A human falls in love with a high lord of the fae. These are just a few of the plots readers can find in modern romance novels, which vary in tone, setting, and characters but are united by one key characteristic: a central love story that culminates in the all-important HEA (happily ever after, for the uninitiated). Everything leading up to that-the meet-cute, the first kiss, the third-act breakup-is left to the author.

That is our special thing as Americans, and no European mind will ever comprehend that, Belly. You should have just made them gravy because that is at least something they all understand.

Midway through "KIKI," a standout of his new album, SUMMERSONGS, wolfacejoeyy gets so desperate, so shameless, that he crosses into delusion. "I know you like girls, boo," he whines, staring down another rejection. "I like girls too!" It shouldn't work, because it's very stupid. But he knows this, and that's what makes it so wonderfully absurdist: Desire and dignity are negotiating, and desire is beating dignity's ass.
