Status Updates From Lie With Me

really gorgeous gay kids in rural france story, lovely short read. love any book that gives me a glimpse of queer history, this has such big threads of secrecy, AIDS, shame, etc. made me cry a little right at the end

que livro bom, claro que não tem como isso acabar bem mais que narrativa perfeita desse escritor...

“But I understand the fear and panic he carries with him. I know how strong this fear is and also that it can’t only be the fear of being caught. It’s a fear of himself too. A fear of what he is.”

“Later I will write about this longing, the intolerable deprivation of the other. I will write about the sadness that eats away at you, making you crazy. It will become the template for my books, in spite of myself. I wonder sometimes if I have ever written of anything else. It’s as if I never recovered from it: the inaccessible other, occupying all my thoughts.”
