I will read everything Maggie Nelson ever writes. I will teach it in classes. I will give it as gifts. I will savor each precious word.
So compelling - a beautiful read that got you so invested in the author’s story & relationship to her aunt. I was moved and made to reflect quite a bit.

made me cry….
some quotes I loved
“Why can’t I possess the outgo that could secure for me those wonderful worlds that could be all mine” 😢😢
“Treating things lightly is indeed the answer to so much”
“Strange, she thinks, how the sun so often appears as a pale circle, not the orgy of unthinkable fire that it is”
I am a sucker for any story about the complicated relationships between sisters….

I read this in one sitting. Astonishing. Paints a human picture of Jane and the family around her. Will be thinking about this for a while.

"I want so much-to be versatile, charming, warm, deep, intelligent, accomplishing something, loving, fooling around, giving instead of getting, cheery not driven, sure not uncertain, possessing not anticipating, answers not questions. I'm seething lately-but it too shall pass."
and then she died
