mallorca was almost a normal and interesting sapphic story and then BOOM A MAN. EEWWWWWWWW whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy WHY RUIN A GOOD THING

ok just finished “the ring” so far the least horrific but wow, this writer is truly disturbed. why is there so much sexual violence. i’m concerned.

read another story and now i’m wondering why i even bother continuing i feel sick to my stomach

i have more to say… the writing and stories are very revealing of the time. opium and casual abuse. it was a horrible choice for a bedtime read but i’m determined to finish the book just to say i did so. maybe not today though. Nin is interestingly humorous at parts and absolutely gruesome at most. i’m genuinely scared of what’s next. what horrors await me.. i wonder

the backstory of this collection was so interesting and i’d heard things about Nin in passing. well, i forgot that curiosity killed the cat. the first story started off interesting and then quickly dived into straight up rape. horrific to the highest degree. i felt sick and continued reading only in hopes that it would soon end. second story was also horrifying. it’s all women and children being abused…
