bognymph finished reading The Obscene Bird of Night by José Donoso
Translated from Spanish by Megan McDowell, Hardie St. Martin and Leonard Mades
With a contribution …
this made me love novels again (as opposed to non fiction and/or theory). gothic in the romantic sense - obsessed with rot and beauty and legacy and oblivion. identities and timelines folding over themselves for centuries. ruined and blurred. the dread of being confined to a Self, the dread of losing one's Self. an accretion of the deepest neuroses.
