this. is a fascinating novel. and written in such an intriguing , lovely way , but is equally disturbing ? i wonder what 16 or 17 y/o me would have thought , reading this book. i watched the movie in 2019 — i could only remember one scene.

this is literature where i don't know ... where to stand. i am unnerved , intrigued , but mostly perturbed.

also : thomas mann's "death in venice."
