ReplyDeleteChris and Michial, thank you both for these leads. Michial, you're right--I found the passage you refer to: "She's quite skinny, like me, but nice skinny. Roller-skate skinny. I watched her once from the window when she was crossing over Fifth Avenue to go to the park, and that's what she is, roller-skate skinny." I also found an Irish band called Rollerskate Skinny.
