Stunning memoir. Absolutely immersive. Precise and heartbreaking writing by and about a woman who suffered her whole life and ultimately caused others to as well. Felt like a thrill and a privilege to live in the honest minutia of a real daily life in 1920s-50s Copenhagen, a world that was entirely unfamiliar to me previously. Bleak yet somehow sharply funny and delightful too!
Iβve been in a reading slump and I feel like short stories always pull me out of it. Moshfeghβs collection here is NASTY! I love her evident distaste for basically everyone and everything lol. Big fan of her writing style and she makes me want to write too.
I like this photo of a bird I took last spring because of the way he is framed in the tree branches, and how fleeting and fragile the moment felt. I think it was on Fuji Superia or Portra 400, donβt remember
