i want to write about light and insects and speech the way this book does, or something close i want to pattern its cadence onto my mind.Ĭaveats about this book: very little happens, it’s so horrible that by the end it makes sibling incest seem relatively wholesome, and more pressingly it uses fatness and disability to feed its wild fantasies about a degraded and dying world, which is very bad, even worse given the UK cover, yeah dolores is a little world unto herself but she’s also a dramatic canvas for pain and i don’t like it and i particularly don’t like the whole thing with the schoolteacher fattening with his moths. this is the most gorgeous book on a sentence by sentence level i have read in years. I read the first 30 pages of this and i wanted to punch into missouri williams’ skull and steal her brain.
