Summary
A year into her fixing career, Elif guiltily felt like her job was to use people, to subject them to journalists’ interrogations and dehumanize them as mere bits of information. She felt exploitative in a general way when pressuring strangers into talking with her clients, but experienced a particularly knotted anxiety when introducing foreign reporters to people she knew and cared for.
