| When I started reading Dubliners, I was expecting something closer to Carver — restrained, everyday stories where an inner fracture slowly emerges from an ordinary scene. Formally, there are similarities: minimalism, the absence of dramatic plots, at ...more | |

| As I was reading, I kept feeling that the text slips away just when you think you’re starting to understand what it’s doing. It starts almost like a detective story. Oedipa Maas is asked to sort through the estate of a deceased tycoon, her former lov ...more | |

| Five parts of literature and violence. Everyone talks about the fourth part — three hundred pages of horror. For me, it’s the best one. The most honest. If anything, parts two and three feel almost unnecessary; the novel would be stronger if it consi ...more | |

| When you read Midnight Mass, one recurring emotion keeps surfacing: in this world, almost everyone is a stranger. Bowles writes about Tangier and its surroundings in such a way that the dividing line does not run between European and Muslim, but betw ...more | |

| Paul Lynch’s The Black Snow is a dark, mesmerizing story, unexpectedly relevant today — about returning home and realizing that the land you longed for may no longer accept you. Set in post-war Ireland, it follows farmer Barnabas Kane, who, after yea ...more | |

| A dense yet hypnotic novel, more about how the world is perceived than about what happens in it. Lynch writes from inside the mind of a girl wandering through Ireland during the Great Famine — a mind still unseparated from the world, perceiving it wi ...more | |
“Our homeland in the language we spoke, thought, and wrote in, not the place where we were born. We live in the space of our language, and to expand it, it's not enough to just leave; we need to start thinking in other languages.”
― Clochard

“We are all connected by the finest of threads. We create worlds for each other through our existence. When someone close to you dies, it immediately affects everything around you; and everyone’s lives, whether they feel it or not, are changed forever.”
― Clochard

“Long ago, we had both realized that the only constructive conversation possible between us was sex. Neither of us could hear normal words. We each spoke our minds and listened only to ourselves. Only during sex did we share sensations and truly be present together. How long could that last? Probably forever. Would we have been happy for eternity? Why not? Sex wasn’t about interests or cultural differences; it was self-sufficient.”
― Clochard

“Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really...How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.”
― The Sheltering Sky

“My message to you is this: pretend that you have free will. It's essential that you behave as if your decisions matter, even though you know they don't. The reality isn't important: what's important is your belief, and believing the lie is the only way to avoid a waking coma. Civilization now depends on self-deception. Perhaps it always has.”
