"and again, a group of soldiers capture a girl, rape her, then kill her, twenty-five years to the day before i was born; this minor detail, which others might not give a second thought, will stay with me forever; in spite of myself and how hard i try to forget it, the truth of it will never stop chasing me, given how fragile i am, as weak as the trees out there past the windowpane."
i am having a really hard time trying to put everything im feeling into words after finishing this. every word brings you into this suffocating and desolate atmosphere. minor details can be as little as dust or bugs; nothing more than a black dot in the corner of your vision. for others, these minor details hold the truth. the web a spider spins can trap a beetle, despite how seemingly fragile its web looks. are minor details an inconvenience or a coincidence? we are belittling the atrocities inflicted upon people. when something is far away and you can easily detatch, it may as well be just a black dot. this novella will haunt me forever.
"when he reached the trunk, he dragged it toward him and looked behind. a slender-legged spider was clinging to the other side. he reached out with his right hand and crushed it, then crawled on toward the bed. a few small spiders nestled underneath it, and, next to them, a dead gray beetle, suspended in a web spun with their fine threads, all of which he smashed with his boots as he swept them out...then without warning, he jumped around different part of the room, crushing several small insects that were crawling on the floor...two spiders and a moth; he eradicated them...meanwhile a little insect advanced toward the edge of the room and slipped through a crack between the floor and the wall, escaping into the gap."

One of the most harrowing books I’ve ever read, but it’s also essential reading. Approach with caution.
