"The complexity of it all! And there are moments that happen where I’m reminded they are literal kids.. thrown into this world without any guidance and all the messiness. As always, I’m in awe of Ferrante’s ability to articulate the intricate, complex, hard-to-catch emotions." Nov 29, 2025 02:46PM

“The thing is we don't need to change our brains at all. Time does so much of the emptying for us.Live long enough and you'll forget almost everything you thought you'd always remember.”
Yaa Gyasi, Transcendent Kingdom

“Hold my life for me.”
Akwaeke Emezi, The Death of Vivek Oji

Akwaeke Emezi
“If this story was a stack of photographs—the old kind, rounded at the corners and kept in albums under the glass and lace doilies of center tables in parlors across the country— it would start with Vivek’s father, Chika. The first print would be of him riding a bus to the village to visit his mother; it would show him dangling an arm out of the window, feeling the air push against his face and the breeze entering his smile.”
Akwaeke Emezi, The Death of Vivek Oji

Akwaeke Emezi
“He smelled like grass and wind and clothes that had been dried in the sun.”
Akwaeke Emezi, The Death of Vivek Oji
