Anne Carson, the prose that you are. Hills, distances, time, captivation, light, beluga whales, and a little red dog will serve to haunt my memories. Oh red, how you are a color of much weight. When do the cameras stop developing their photos? What image is that?
Graphic: Toxic relationship, Emotional abuse, and Grief

“How does distance look?" is a simple direct question. It extends from a spaceless within to the edge of what can be loved. It depends on light.”
I still think Anne Carson speak a different language than the rest of us. Anyway, this broke my heart into pieces and put all of them back together again somehow.

Audiobook again so I’d like to read it one day. Weird moment when the protagonist flies to Buenos Aires via Bermuda... like. What? Completely took me out of the story.
