"4 stars. I love emotionally unstable, weird, bisexual characters, who make endless mistakes, and this novel did not disappoint in that department. Life is messy. People are messy. Much of human interaction is rife with our past selves and our ideas a"

“[W]hen you see beauty in desolation it changes something inside you. Desolation tries to colonize you.”

“Destroy superabundance. Starve the flesh, shave the hair, clarify the mind, define the will, restrain the senses, leave the family, flee the church, kill the vermin,vomit the heart, forget the dead. Limit time, forgo amusement, deny nature, reject acquaintances, discard objects, forget truths, dissect myth, stop motion, block impulse, choke sobs, swallow chatter. Scorn joy, scorn touch, scorn tragedy, scorn liberty, scorn constancy, scorn hope, scorn exaltation, scorn reproduction, scorn variety, scorn embellishment, scorn release, scorn rest, scorn sweetness, scorn light. It's a question of form as much as function. It is a matter of revulsion.”
