Juna Jamet’s Reviews > Confessions of an English Opium-Eater and Other Writings > Status Update

finished Suspiria De Profundis, far loftier and melodramatic compared to his Confessions which at times was riveting and at other times obnoxious. Absurdly funny guy, intentional or not, just absolute nutcase.

only De Quincey would spend an entire chapter explaining ancient printing techniques, lamenting on alchemy and chemistry, and recalling a near death experience to state that opium has alighted his memory

Suspiria de Profundis contains some of his most romantic lamentations but also his loftiest writing

Suspiria De Profundis is somehow even better than Confessions

ends his confessions lying about not taking opium anymore and lamenting on how great it still is. goated.

he just fuckin gets it

his mind is amazing
