The last bit of the book seems to be headed into cliche territory and it’s severely putting a damper on my mood while reading it. Crossing my fingers it doesn’t end how I think it’s going to.

So far this is infuriating me to remember about this book how improbable it is that NOT A SINGLE SANE ADULT IS REQUESTING A DNA TEST.

“Men got to do anything to women and women got to walk around scared and traumatized and angry”

“The male claim that females find fulfillment through motherhood and sexuality reflects what males think they’d find fulfilling if they were female”

WELL, this came out of the gate with a sucker punch directly to my tear ducts.

Was not aware until the foreword of this book that Solanas is the woman who shot Andy Warhol.

Listening to Matthew narrate this himself 🥲

“make your very blood/a salve/of pine/and open sky.”

“this is the question/i am always asking myself:

what will become of my stories -
gardens/or/graveyards?”

“I bloomed out of the death that found me.”

It was recommended I read books 5 & 6 out of order since 6 is apparently a prequel of 5?

Double T, double E, double R, double R, double I, double F, double CCCC…

I saw Libby has an audio reading of this FULLY CASTED and narrated by Meryl Streep so… I’ve only ever seen the movie from the ‘70s but so far it seems to have captured the book quite well.
