I loved this. Byatt's writing is so rich and decadent, totally maximalist, and I love that, too! The two novellas work incredibly well together, and they manage to make you think AND care about the characters, too -- a balancing act many stories atte ...more

If I'm being honest, I'm surprised I finished this book.

There's a lot of not great stuff here. The action in a scene is not always easily followed -- and I mean any action at all, not just fight scenes, anything that isn't straight up dialogue is lia

Miranda July
“Are you angry? Punch a pillow. Was it satisfying? Not hardly. These days people are too angry for punching. What you might try is stabbing. Take an old pillow and lay it on the front lawn. Stab it with a big pointy knife. Again and again and again. Stab hard enough for the point of the knife to go into the ground. Stab until the pillow is gone and you are just stabbing the earth again and again, as if you want to kill it for continuing to spin, as if you are getting revenge for having to live on this planet day after day, alone.”
Miranda July, No One Belongs Here More Than You

Jorge Luis Borges
“He thought that the rose was to be found in its own eternity and not in his words; and that we may mention or allude to a thing, but not express it.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Dreamtigers

Elizabeth Bishop
“I was made at right angles to the world
and I see it so. I can only see it so.”
Elizabeth Bishop, Poems, Prose, and Letters

Jorge Luis Borges
“Man's memory shapes
Its own Eden within”
