Volviendo a Dorothy Allison, su prosa es impecable y ahora me siento con la suficiente claridad para sumergirme de nuevo en ella:
"I had no idea that book would change how I thought about fiction, how I thought about myself and the poverty into which I had been born. Then it would take hold of my imagination and shake me out the belief that there was no connection between my life and the lives of people in fiction."

"Cathy showed me that I was humanly fragile. I found in myself the heroine of every heartbreak song I have ever laughed at but played again. I was not completely calloused. My skin was as thin as anyone's."

Pienso en la complejidad de toda la mierda que interiorizamos, de lo difícil que es permitirse desear y Dorothy Allison no solo habla del deseo en el campo de sexualidad al que le presta gran importancia. Habla también del deseo en la política y del deseo en la literatura: de la búsqueda de la verdad. Pienso en todos los pequeños momentos que me estoy dando permiso, desde el sentir hasta el hacer, de la dificultad.

"Some things never change. There is a place where we are always alone with our own mortality, where we must simply have something greater than ourselves to hold onto (...) A reason to believe, a way to take the world by the throat and insist that there is more to this life than we have ever imagined".
