Status Updates From Le Colosse de Maroussi

how did i not know this was an actual travel memoir about millers actual visit to greece? i should of realised that only someone who actual visited the motherland and actually experienced this would be able to write something so personal and meaningful. “out of the sea, as if homer himself had arranged it for me,”

i am only just getting started on this book but i have never had such desire to start talking about it already. this feels like i’m reading a diary but a diary of one of much intelligence. as a girl who grew up visiting greece this book describes the feeling of visiting the country beautifully. greece is such a special place and this book praises it in a way that is just ineffably perfect and personal to me.
