bookshelves: translated, lit-fic
ørstavik is so concerned with gaps: between language and understanding, between intent and impact, between the conscious and the subconscious, between what we need from those we love and what they can give us. this book felt like trudging through a hostile landscape for hours, feeling the world constrict steadily. briefy, suddenly, you're offered relief, one breath in an open clearing, before she plunges you back into the weeds. murky often, but unsubtle! personally still partial to Love and The Pastor but I'll keep reading anything she has to offer ]]> Rating849317804 Sun, 20 Apr 2025 16:03:36 -0700 <![CDATA[ocelia liked a userstatus]]> /
