Le rat était pourtant, lui aussi, malgré cette hideuse réputation dont nous le tenions coupable, un animal aussi digne d'amour que le chat, mais si le rat avait mauvaise réputation, c'était à cause de nous, parce qu'il portait notre honte et les stigmates de notre longue histoire, on l'avait toujours vu à nos côtés, partageant nos guerres, nos haines, mourant de nos maladies, comme nous il avait combattu, résisté, c'était un animal digne mais asservi à nos servitudes, il nous avait meurtri et nous l'avions meurtri, c'était désormais une part de nous-mêmes, car avec le temps et le courage que lui avaient inspiré notre dégradation et nos malheurs, il avait fini par nous ressembler, et quand on retrouvait son cadavre dans un égout, on frissonnait de peur, car on reconnaissait là l'un de nos milliers de cadavres, et on pressentait que cette vile agonie avait l'odeur de nos secrets et de notre pourriture

[Dal fulmine la luce][Marie-Claire Blais]
“Dal fulmine la luce” di Marie-Claire Blais mette nuovamente in scena il respiro apocalittico di una grande scrittrice del nostro tempo, un inno al fragile splendore della Terra e alla forza redentrice dell’arte
Nel secondo volume del ciclo Soifs, ancora una volta ambientato nella lussureggiante isola senza nome del Golfo del Messico, microcosmo in cui luce e oscurità si combattono senza trovare riposo, il lettore troverà molti degli iconici personaggi de “La sete”, tra cui Renata, Carlos, Samuel, Mélanie, Mama e Vénus, ma conoscerà anche nuovi protagonisti tormentati dalla stessa sete di vita, giustizia…

L'importante, sai, è avere
intorno non solo erba o
sporcizia, ma anime che ti
pensano ogni giorno,
persone che ti vogliono bene
Tutto il resto è niente.

L'important, vous savez, c'est d'avoir autour de soi, pas seulement de l'herbe ou de la terre, mais des âmes qui pensent à vous chaque jour, des gens qui vous aiment. Tout le reste n'est rien.

AGING
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I cry every year on my birthday.
For most of my life I did it in secret, embarrassed by the thought of being perceived as melodramatic or overly sensitive. But in the last few years I've learned from friends (and strangers on the internet) that I am not alone in the birthday waterworks phenomenon—we're all grappling with the realities of aging and impermanence, memory and nostalgia, legacy and regret. The relentless tide of time is washing away our mortal bodies just as quickly as it brought them in. That's fucking scary!!!
Rather than trying to repress these realizations, I give us permission to look time dead in the eye, to mourn our youth, to embrace change and also fear it intensely. To ask each other, how do you cope when (to steal a line from The Good Place) birth is a curse and existence is a prison? Can we do it together? Come, sit on the floor with me and share a slice of red velvet cake while we discuss our fleeting blip of shared humanity. (Did I mention I have cake?)
how to wish yourself a happy birthday by Eliza McLamb (essay // birthdays)
you start at the beginning. the baby just born, tan tub in the Cary house, naked and nestled up to the heavy, silver necklaces and Esteé Lauder perfume. you hold the baby and say “happy birthday, honey. i love you.”
The Universe May Stop Expanding in Five Billion Years by Savannah Brown (poem // cosmic vertigo)
Don't Hesitate by Mary Oliver (poem // joyful possibilities -- I read this every year on my birthday)
This is the story of February by Claire Donohoe (poem // melancholy change)
Playlist by me (playlist // the mushy uncertainty and bittersweet nostalgia of your early 20's)
I want my baby teeth back Stare in the mirror, do my best Late Night Show wisecrack I wanna know what it's like Pull out my front one on my own time
(Haley Blais, "Baby Teeth" -- on playlist)
What's the point of growing up When it's obvious the world is fucked By stuff someone thought up before my time So I'll clean my toilet, pay my bills Eat my salad, take my pills In a box inside a city that's on fire No wonder why I always wake up tired
(Olive Klug, "Coming of Age")
Lady Bird, dir. Greta Gerwig (movie // teenage girlhood + evolving parental relationships)
Mistress America, dir. Noah Baumbach (movie // my favorite depiction of the college experience)
Boyhood, dir. Richard Linklater (movie // coming of age masterpiece)
My Year of Prolonged Suffering and Decrepitude (episode of Binchtopia podcast // the predatory, misogynistic anti-aging industry)

But the Quebec writer joined the literary council as “representative of French-speaking Canadian literature,” succeeding the great Marie-Claire Blais in this position.

Lecturas de agosto. Segunda semana
Lecturas de agosto. Segunda semana
Harvey / Emma Cline. Editorial Anagrama, 2021 A veinticuatro horas de la sentencia de su juicio, en una casa prestada en Connecticut, Harvey amanece de madrugada sudado e inquieto, pero repleto de confianza: esto es América, y en América a los que son como él no se los condena. Hubo un momento en que la gente le dio la espalda, pero a esa gente la sustituyó pronto gente nueva: y la gente que le…
