haven't gotten to the lesbianism yet.

becoming more annoying btw

First update for this because i actually made it through part 1. More and more understanding and enjoying it. Will I retain most of the information? Probably not. But it feels like a good foundation for further reading or re-reading different parts of the collection individually. Sometimes it reads like marx’s neon genesis evangelion.

Oh so powerful. A charged work that is not even “a work” but notes of a scrapped attempt. The gaps in the poems leave so much space for brutal emotion.

the prose has me levitating

finished part 3 - did you know there used to be two police departments, the municipal and the metropolitan police and they hated each other, both tried to arrest the mayor and got into a big riot in front of city hall

finished part 2 - the sporting life

finished part 1 - the body

finished "tragedy" the first of this double feature of novellas - great stuff. film critic accidentally kills his girlfriend and goes on to spiral in finding ways to perfectly cover up his mess. won't spoil the ending, but it's delicious

Among Women Only: women are crazy. i wish italy was real.

finished the house on the hill

aching. the stain of a country.

Finished the first novella The Beach
- i want to have an Italian beach summer so bad , drinking apertifs, half-hearted conversations, soaking up the sun
