FINALLY

Please tell him what that horrible woman did to you 😭

Oh. My. Gosh.

IM SCREAMING

THIS. BOOK.

This is absolutely disgusting.

Oh, poor Mrs. de Winter… it speaks volumes of not having a name.

this is all together depressing, somber, achy and sad. It feels like im reading a head cold, yet its beautiful and enveloping and feverish.

there’s no connection… just… deprivation.

I am glad it cannot happen twice, the fever of first love. For it is a fever, and a burden, too, whatever the poets may say.

“There’s a cold wind this morning, you had better put on my coat.”

I remember that, for I was young enough to win happiness in the wearing of his clothes…

”No signature, and no beginning. But my name was on the envelope, and spelt correctly, an unusual thing.”

Honestly I would’ve folded then and there.

I’m starting this and all I can think of is Klaus yelling Rebecca!!” LOLOL

WHAT DO YOU MEAN

“You were in your slip,” said K. turning her head back to the stove with his hand. She was silent. “Is he your lover?” asked K.

UM EXCUSE ME?! I WOULDVE EATEN EVERY ROMANCE NOVEL THIS MAN PRODUCED

HERR FRANZ KAFKA EXCUSE ME?’

YOU HAVE ME KICKING AND GIGGLING MY FEEETT

”How could he have just sat there, totally paralyzed, at the decision to defend himself?”

So real

This is the most sensual, confident work I’ve ever read of F’s

leaving for Spain in 4 days, trying to bring four books for the flight there and back, I feel like I’m the bachelorette 😭😭

This really is like some sort of nightmare, ridden with guilt

this book is a fever dream and tbh I’m all for it

everything Kafka writes is a love letter to romance

just got out of the worst slump of my life and I’m so sad at all the time I’ve lost

Any translator that opens with “Translating Kafka was once my dream. Now, I only dream of how I might’ve done it better.” is immediately put up high on my list
