precise and perfect, not a word left un-perfumed, a prose blessed by this digging type of sensibility capable of transmitting dread more readily than anything I have ever read. the bees were everywhere and in everything, I have thought of swallowing many after this. the bones and the trees and the river were perfectly rebellious, and the Maraldina dwellers complete devil spawn. I cried for the river boys, for the prisoners. all the deaths I have ever called for have warped into a hive so as to hold the nectar of mercè rodoreda’s symbolisms about my soul, the honey for my desire.

It's interesting, prose and plot, but I'm not interested in this genre.
