The prompt
Tell me what the world was like the year I was born. My name is your name. Ask the year, and the country if it was not the United States. Then give me a short portrait: a headline, a song or movie, a price of something ordinary, and one thing about daily life at home. Keep it warm, like a letter, and say when a detail is approximate.
