🧐😶 me reading this

This is like studying a cultural artefact. A hilarious, strange, confusing and witty one.

O bunny where art thou

I just finished chapter 16 and was moved and mesmerized by Awad’s writing.

Wtf is going on!!!

I’m just grateful it’s not my paper that Marx is marking and critiquing, can you imagine 😬 lol

"Peaceful protest and reform are exactly what the people are denied by the ruling oligarchs. The dissidents who continue to fight back, who try to defend themselves from the oligarchs' repressive fury, are then called 'violent revolutionaries' and 'terrorists.'"

What am I supposed to do, not quote and post every other line of this book? Sigh.

The English translation versus the original Persian are entirely different universes. The English is tiresome to me, the Persian is 😩😍💀 I know this must be something people say often about translated work but it’s way more intense for me with Farrokhzaad in particular. Sorry to say it.
