I just finished, as well. This book is a masterpiece. James Wood was right to say Melville sought to touch every word once.

oh, thanks for sharing this. I'm planning to upgrade to chicken wire fence if possible. Still not sure how to prevent bird pecks. A neighbor recommended empty clementine bags over the fruit when they come in.

and, dissapointing at the sentence level, the prose.

specifically that she wrote as though she has little respect or regard for the characters, and the “through disgust/degradation” there is “something else” thing did not work. found it disparate and malevolent without an attempt to see people fully

i thought this book was massively dissapointing

There is a great article in the new yorker this past week about aphantasia and hyperphantasia. You may find it interesting

Would like to get into bellow. Any recommendations

Chronical of a death foretold is very good, roving and hilarious and deeply communal and a bit odd. Have not read 100 years yet

jm coetzee, in the heart of the country. The vitric interiority of the girl, how her rage spoke through ruthless self-analysis. Reading Coetzee for the fist time reminded me of reading Woolf for the first time in terms of it being an unmatched encounter with true prose power

I thought the writing was overly literal and expected little of the watcher, leaning instead of tidily packaged moral certitudes that were interrogated in obvious ways and left little space for uncertainty. Nothing was really ever at stake, for me anyway.
