"But I can't sleep, not the first night. Before all else, I have know what is around the house. Whether there dogs, and if they're friendly, whether there are ditches, how deep they are. Whether there are poisonous nsects, snakes. I need to get out in front of anything could happen, but everything is very dark and my eyes never get used to the darkness. I think I once had a very different idea of the night. Why do mothers do that? What? Try to get out in front of anything that could happen -- the rescue distance. It's because sooner or later something terrible will happen. My grandmother used to tell my mother that all through her childhood, and my mother would tell me, throughout mine. And now I have to take care of Nina. But you always miss the important thing. " Beautifully translated by Megan McDowell, Samanta Schweblin's FEVER DREAM is a feat of what I'll call psychological mother-horror. I want you to read it so we can talk about, please and thank you. It is a perfect, lean Halloween read. . . . . . #bookstagram #translation #feverdream
Recently, I've been thinking about texture, in language and in the world around me. I'm not a great photographer, but now that I'm looking, I'll share some pictures of texture with you. RT from @inperfecto7 . . . . . . . . #texture
Beautiful weekend reads.
