Book cover for The God of Small Things
That something happened when personal turmoil dropped by at the wayside shrine of the vast, violent, circling, driving, ridiculous, insane, unfeasible, public turmoil of a nation. That Big God howled like a hot wind, and demanded obeisance. ...more

Olivia Laing
“To be born at all is to be situated in a network of relations with other people, and furthermore to find oneself forcibly inserted into linguistic categories that might seem natural and inevitable but are socially constructed and rigorously policed. We’re all stuck in our bodies, meaning stuck inside a grid of conflicting ideas about what those bodies mean, what they’re capable of and what they’re allowed or forbidden to do. We’re not just individuals, hungry and mortal, but also representative types, subject to expectations, demands, prohibitions and punishments that vary enormously according to the kind of body we find ourselves inhabiting. Freedom isn’t simply a matter of indulging all material cravings, Sade-style. It’s also about finding ways to live without being hampered, hobbled, damaged or actively destroyed by a constant reinforcement of ideas about what is permitted for the category of body to which you’ve been assigned.”
Olivia Laing, Everybody: A Book about Freedom

Elena Ferrante
“A veces me pregunto dónde se habrá desvanecido. En el fondo del mar. Dentro de una grieta o en una galería subterránea cuya existencia sólo ella conoce. En una vieja bañera repleta de un potente ácido. Dentro de un foso carbonero de otros tiempos, de esos a los que dedicaba tantas palabras. En la cripta de una pequeña iglesia de montaña abandonada. En una de las tantas dimensiones que nosotros todavía no conocemos.”
Elena Ferrante, The Story of the Lost Child

“Para escribir hay que desear que algo te sobreviva.”

Maggie Nelson
“This is the dysfunction talking. This is the disease talking. This is how much I miss you talking. This is the deepest blue, talking, talking, always talking to you.”
Maggie Nelson

Olivia Laing
“Sometimes, all you need is permission to feel. Sometimes, what causes the most pain is actually the attempt to resist feeling, or the shame that grows up like thorns around it.”
Olivia Laing, The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone
