"Book two is finished. Book one's theme was - freedom and confinement are not always antitheses. And in book two, the author plays with the theme of time and relevance. Life goes on, titles and fame get insignificant... Book two got more momentum, loving the journey with Count Rostov's." — Mar 22, 2026 11:47AM

Anjum’s Notes & Highlights

Happening by Annie Ernaux

1 note & 11 highlights

So it would appear my life is confined to the period separating the Ogino method from the age of cheap condom dispensers. It’s one way of measuring it, possibly the most reliable one of all.

Anjum’s Quotes

“একবার যখন দেহ থেকে বা'র হয়ে যাব
আবার কি ফিরে আসবো না আমি পৃথিবীতে?
আবার যেন ফিরে আসি
কোনো এক শীতের রাতে
একটা হিম কমলালেবুর করুণ মাংস নিয়ে
কোন এক পরিচিত মুমূর্ষুর বিছানার কিনারে।”
― Jibanananda Das, বনলতা সেন

“তুমি শুধু একদিন ব্যথা হয়ে এসেছিলে কবে
সেদিকে ফিরিনি আর, চড়ুই এর মতো আমি ঘাস খড় পাতার আহ্বানে চলে গেছি, এ জীবন কবে যেন মাঠে মাঠে ঘাস হয়ে রবে।”
― Jibanananda Das

“Doesn't look like much, does he?" murmurs Fredrick. "Hardly a couple of ounces of feathers and bones. But that bird can fly to Africa and back. Powered by bugs and worms and desire.”
