Ballet of Lepers - 4/5
a terribly interesting character and story rife with desire, shame, and the destruction which follows. i hesitate to call cohen’s prose beautiful, but it is certainly evocative and unrepentant in its candour.
“We are not mad, we are human and we want to love, and someone must forgive us for the paths we take to love, for the paths are many and dark and we are ardent and cruel”
