What a find is Fleur Jaeggy! These short meditative impressionistic biographies are marvelous and poetic. So excited to read more of her work...

Connections: de Quincey wrote of Suspiria, one of my favorite films of last year. And Schwob, who she writes of in the 3rd essay, and whose The Children’s Crusade I found in my glovebox yesterday, in the car I only drove to school because the train did not come. I did not know he was in this book.

I have this marked as read, though I don't remember finishing it. I thought I decided not to finish it?

Wasn't that good. The writing style bothered me. I thought it had a lot of promise, too, before opening it.
