You Me




Martin Buber

There are a spate of Asian restaurants in Rome including a very good Korean, Igio in Piazza di Cosimoto, and an excellent Ramen, QQ Ramen on on the Viale di Trastevere. There are also a number of all you can eat Chinese/Japanese on the way to Testaccio but You Me is nowhere to be found on any of the restaurant sites. The Israeli philosopher Martin Buber famously authored I Thou  to which I It relationships, with their intrinsic objectification, are invidiously compared. Which brings up the subject of pronouns in general. Gender fluidity is as much a part of Roman life as it is in any other cosmopolitan city, though "they" don't always know what U want when it comes to me.
