already a much much better audiobook, lovely narration

v interesting to learn about the iconography of p22. they are talking about frogs crossing roads now! 🐸

“And I don’t know / what might bring peace on earth. But a man / fallen asleep at his desk while revising / a letter to his father is apple blossoms / left lying where they fell.“

And my death is not my death, / but a pillow beneath my head, a rock / propping the window open / to admit the jasmine.

immediately obsessed

WOW

idk if i can deal with the puritanism tbh…

the writing is already exhilarating, the characters and settings so vivid it’s like i’ve been dropped back into commons. or back into an absolutely disgusting college house

already so incredibly funny and such clear, potent writing

“pelican mouth unfull but full of loathing”

north sea hurt so bad wow

when in dordogne, my whole heart ahhhh

such a lovely reading for the audiobook

“A bird is a vessel. It carries a field.” …

“After you leave, you leave & thicketed in sludge I’ve been glued open. Self as spectacle: Yolk Marvel. Unbird.”

thinking about the social moment when cars first started existing is craaaaazyyy

3,000 tons of infrastructure per person? yikes

finding the writing v stilted so far 💔 but hopefully it’ll feel more natural when the story picks up?
