You're invited to dive into both sections of this quiz now. I confess that my not-so-secret hope is that you're intrigued to take part in the others and then give the book they came from ("Single File") your undiluted attention. My slant on living single seems to be just now coming into its own, some time after its writing — and for that, I am grateful. Your thoughts are my sustenance.
