Gwen :) is on page 16 of 560 of Katabasis

Kuang’s writing speaks straight to my soul — it’s WITTY, it’s EDUCATED, it’s SHARP, it’s steeped in a classicists education… I LOVE IT

“Dante's account was so distracted with spiteful potshots that the reportage got lost within. […] Orpheus's notes, already in archaic Greek, were largely in shreds like the rest of him. And Aeneas-well, that was all Roman propaganda.”

GOD I LOVE R F KUANGS WRITING

this book is truly a horror story about the cycles of abuse and anyone who cannot see that must have the reading comprehension of a 3 year old.

“Here I used toska […] t's ... melancholy, longing. Spiritual anguish. Nabokov described it as 'a dull ache of the soul, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. And, in particular cases, 'the desire for somebody or something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness’ I've never found a word like that before, that so perfectly sums up how I feel about us.”

oh how i love language

this book is SO heavily focused on pregnancy & the body’s changes when having children, which is obviously important to being a biological woman, but i’m tired of it JUST being about that. give me some cultural implications of being a woman or something 😔🙏
