i wish this book would go on forever

(Like a bad concert hall, affective space contains dead spots where the sound fails to circulate. -The perfect interlocutor, the friend, is he not the one who constructs around you the greatest possible resonance? Cannot friendship be defined as a space with total sonority?)

"one day, I realize what has happened to me: I thought I
was suffering from not being loved, and yet it is because I
thought I was loved that I was suffering; I lived in the
complication of supposing myself simultaneously loved
and abandoned. Anyone hearing my intimate language
would have had to exclaim, as of a difficult child: But
after all, what does he want?"

"We forgot to ask Lilit about magic top surgery." Love

the top4top romance is really heartwarming

LOVE that everyone is listening to nine inch nails

"My mother used to knit my mittens too big so they’d still fit me when I grew. I wore them and looked like who I wasn’t yet."

away with something. It’s as if I’ve found a secret door and slipped through

"A storm front
rolled across her face. Ice forming in her once-warm tone.
You had no idea what was happening.
It was a season you had never seen.
Everything before then—summer. Years of her

you’d seen even a single leaf turn
from green to red, you might have been
prepared."

"in alaska, my life was with me again, attached for now. I took photos of the birds to remind myself that the unsettled feeling wasnt caused by me, and could be solved by traveling somewhere cold"

"One of the models in a shoot I did for On Our Backs turned out to be a male-to-female transsexual. My prejudice on that subject was that Elexis was more of a woman than I am. The minute I saw her I recognized her as a super-woman, a super-femme. I associate her with all of these female qualities that I could never muster, and, as a matter of fact, dont want to muster." - Honey Lee Cottrell

the prose is so nice and feels very good to read and i get why its popular but oh my god male authors be normal about women challenge
