anne carson is beating me up

the feelings lauren groff has me feeling…😭

“I think I love her with that part of me that is never illuminated.”

my edition is so much prettier than this ugly goodreads cover. this is disproportionately upsetting.

“I was like every kid who had grown up in the country, allowing the weather— good or bad— to describe life for me: its mocking, its magic, its contradictions, its moody grip. Why not? One was helpless before everything.”

everything lauren groff writes makes me so jealous i didn’t write it

i will need to come back to this one when not feeling sad already

it’s insane how good this is

no skip story collection (so far)!!!

the grabbiest writer around!! i am in suspense!!

“it would be inconceivable for him to consider that his unshakable belief in his own good taste was nothing more than a rigid wall protecting him from the chaos of life itself.”

“but i cannot be worrying-worrying all the time about the truth. i have to worry about the truth that can be lived with.”

why does everyone have 8 names but also they’re all named Estraven😭 this is wuthering heights all over again

new favorite just dropped

“This possibility, the possibility of creating my language out of my pain, of using my pain to create myself, while cruelly locked in the depths of me, like the beginning of life and the beginning of death, yet seemed, for an instant, to be on the very tip of my tongue. My pain was the horse that I must learn to ride.”

fuck a max character limit. full quote is glorious

i wish this was 1000 pages long

LOCKED IN LETS GO

hnnnnnnghhh i want to be enjoying this so badly but i am not! punching the air

I wondered why this book was called disappoint me…… but now they’re all disappointing each other

*deep breaths for rage*

“light was simply light, unpeopled by hope.”
