"We must reach such a nothing that we indifferently love or don’t love the criminal who kills us." dearest count slopula

Okay this kinda eats

Sometimes im like this book is great and other times im like wtf is she saying. Like: "Macabea didn't know that she herself was a suicide although it had never crossed her mind to kill herself. Because life was more tasteless to her than old bread with no butter. Whereas Olimpico was a certified and vital demon and from him children would be born, he had the precious semen."

i still believe this: clarice lispector writes like a manic pixie dream girl

"She didn't know she was unhappy. That's because she believed. In what? In you, but you don't have to believe in anyone or anything -- you just have to believe. That sometimes gave her the state of grace. She'd never lost faith." like wtf does this mean - who is "you". this is like proto-ocean vuong to me, i.e. i would have liked this when i was 16

why does anyone like this woman's writing? it's so word salad

Reading with TY for book club
