How does not having a book store "create a lack of self-worth"? Why does having a bookstore say anything about your self-worth? It might say something about the overall conditions in the Bronx but certainly not an individuals self-worth.
I was also amused by what she is doing to fix the lack of bookstores. Instead of opening a new bookstore; she is opening a wine bar that sells books. It's like she already believes that she won't sell enough books to support the business. I might be getting cynical here but I wonder if she realized calling it a bookstore gets more press than opening a wine bar would.
